BAU HS Prep Goes Undefeated in Winning 16U Tournament
07/01/18
BAU HS Prep Team
The BAU HS Prep Team gutted out a walk-off win in pool play and rode the momentum to an undefeated Championship run in the NCTB Mid Summer Classic tournament. Nate M. (Amador Valley HS) delivered the game winning single on Saturday to lead the team into the playoffs as the number one seed.
HS Prep then got a strong pitching performance from Francisco R. (Bishop O'Dowd HS) in the Semis to setup Zach C. (San Ramon Valley HS) for the Championship game.
Zach didn't disappoint throwing a complete game no-hitter (10 strikeouts), leading the club to 2-1 victory. Excellent weekend all-around by HS Prep - solid defense,
timely hitting, and great pitching!

BAU 12U, 13U Black, and 13U White on a Tournament Championship Run!
March 27, 2016
The young athletes of Bay Area United have been training tirelessly this season to take their individual games to the next level and this has translated into great team play! Over the last two months the three clubs have captured five championships. Even more, the 12U and 13U Black teams won back-to back championships over that span!
BAU 12U
BAU 12U was recently crowned champions of the March Madness and Spring Slugfest tournaments. The club showed a lot of toughness and fortitude, particularly in the March Madness tournament. Trailing 7-5 on a cold, wet night, BAU 12U scored 15 runs in the third inning to beat Team Kado 22-7. BAU 12U then carried this momentum into its next tournament (Spring Slugfest) where it outlasted Club Allstar in a great championship game. The team had to dig deep in this back-and-forth affair that saw BAU 12U score the winning run on a walk-off single by tournament MVP Jason M. BAU 12U is 22-7 on the season and poised to be a dominant force among AAA 12U teams.
BAU 13U Black
Coming on the heals of winning the Pineapple Express tournament, BAU 13U Black picked right up and battled its way to a championship in the Winter Showdown tournament. After finishing Saturday's pool play games at 1-1, the club won three games on Sunday to take home its second consecutive championship. Braeden C. paced the team on offense with multi-hit performances in each game. 13U Black got great pitching over the weekend, with its staff only allowing fifteen runs over five games. Moose C., picked up the win in the championship game with a dominant performance against a powerful Major club. 13U Black currently sports an impressive 19-5 record.
BAU 13U White
After closing the Fall season with a championship at the Polar Bear Classic, BAU 13U White earned its second championship of the season in winning the Easter Spring Training tournament. BAU's offense was simply dominant during the tournament, with the club outscoring its opponents 42-9. 13U White has been playing solid ball this season and the club continues to get better and better as the new players and veterans gel together. Really good things are in-store for 13U White.

In a hard fought tournament over the Memorial Day Weekend, BAU Red narrowly missed winning it's second Championship, falling in the Championship Game 7-4. This tough, three-day tournament featured 9 teams all battling for top billing.
BAU Red ended Day 1 of the tournament 2-0 and as the top seed after beating its opponents by a combined score of 17-3. On display was BAU's full arsenal of timely hitting, defense, solid pitching, and SPEED! Day two featured a late afternoon loss to the Bay Valley Bombers and a win over the previously unbeaten and friendly rival San Ramon Slammers. The win setup a first-round playoff re-matchup with the Slammers, a game which BAU won on the strength of strong starting and relief pitching and excellent defense.
In the Championship Game, BAU jumped out to an early 2-0 lead before the top-seeded Martinez Hornets battled back to cut into and take a 3-2 lead during the middle innings. The game was nip-and-tuck the entire way with BAU narrowly missing a few big scoring opportunities. BAU eventually fell 7-4 to the gutsy Hornets but the boys played a solid game.
All-in-all this was another great tournament showing by BAU Red. All of the boys are developing as planned and this growth is translating into strong team performances (two championship appearances in our last three tournys). Way to go boys, keep working hard, developing, and representing "The U."
