Angels open up game 1 @ Perfect Game Florida Qualifier with 1-0 victory.
The WOB Angels won a hard fought 1-0 game over the Treasure Coast Young Guns.  Left-Hander, Tony Mollica, silenced the TCYG bats for 6 innings giving up only 4 hits and punching out 7.  Bradley Goodson closed the game out while earning the save.  The big hit of the game for the Angels came in the 6th inning when catcher Cal Lambert hit a leadoff double.  3rd baseman Connor McCarthy successfully sacrificed pitch runner Blake Bramblett to third base.  With 1 out and a 0-0 ball game, the suicide squeeze was put on and was unsuccessfully executed, however, Blake Bramblett got caught up in a “pickle” and caused an errant throw that allowed him to score the winning run.  The Angel bats could only manage 4 hits against very effective TCYG pitching.  Besides the Lambert double, Cody Layfield, Colin Barrera, and Aaron Silbar all chipped in with singles. 

Angels win big!

The Angels moved to 2-0 in the Perfect Game Florida Qualifier with a 13-4 victory over SWFL 17U.  The Angels capitalized early on SWFL walks to jump out to a 8 – 0 lead after only the second inning.  The Angel bats got hot as they also pounded out 9 hits.  Bradley Goodson, Cal Lambert and Garrett Ruckel were the 3-4-5 hitters in the lineup respectively.  All three of them were on base 4 times as each of them went 2-2 at the plate and walked twice.  The 15 year old Ruckel also had 4 RBI’s to cap off a great day.  Goodson had 2 rbi’s and 3 runs scored as well.  Cody Layfield went 2-2 with 2 stolen bases on the day.  Connor McCarthy chipped in with a single and run scored.  Angel pitchers Tim Lappin, Tim Johnson, and Clayton Levins combined to pitch 5 innings as the mercy rule came into effect.  The boys struck out 5, gave up 4 hits, and only walked one batter.  The Angels next game will be against the 18U Florida Pokers for the Pool Championship.

Angels win 4^th Perfect Game pool championship in 5^th event. 

The Angels defeated the 18U Florida Pokers team 7 – 2 in the pool championship game.  The victory gave the Angels an overall # 4 seed and automatic 1^st round bye in the playoffs.  The game started off slow as the Angels fell behind 2 – 0 and the Pokers southpaw retired our first 8 batters of the game.  With 2 outs in the 3^rd inning the Angels Colin Barerra started the fireworks with a single to right center.  After a Cody Layfield single to left and Aaron Silbar’s walk, right fielder Tim Johnson laced a 2- run single to right field tying the ball game up 2-2.  Cal Lambert laced a ball to right field knocking in 2 more runners while Garrett Ruckel launched a ball to deep left center field for a rbi double that gave the Angels a 6-2 lead.  Austin Bailey also contributed with a single.  Pitcher Tim Lappin threw 5 very strong innings versus a solid hitting Pokers team.  He gave up 6 hits, 2 earned runs, and struck out 4.  Big right-hander, Chase Wissman, tossed the final 2 innings giving up 2 hits and punching out 3 batters.  The Angels next game will be in the elite 8 versus the winning inning. 

Congratulations to our 13U Team for winning the first Annual W.O.B. Halloween Slugfest.
