Ripken weekend summary
0-3 · 49 runs allowed · 32 walks issued across 13.2 IP
Inconsistency was the whole story. G1 opened with a 1-0 Desai lead through two, then came apart with a 5-run 3rd and a 5-run 4th from the Braves. G2 we scored first (3 in the top of the 1st) and immediately gave 4 back, then 8 more in the 2nd — mercy at 4. Sunday's bracket vs Shore was over before it started — 9 runs allowed in the bottom of the 1st. The bats went quiet when it mattered: 2 hits total in the Sunday game, 10 hits across the whole weekend, 7 runs scored vs 49 allowed. Walks remained the fatal flaw — 32 BB issued in 13.2 IP is right back to the Angels DH pattern. Season now 5-10.

Riley 73 P in 3.2 IP (45% strikes) — this was the long-leash plan, and we gave him the chance. 5 walks + 3 wild pitches in that stretch is where the 10 runs came in.
G1 Takeaways
- Riley got the start and we let him go. 73 P on 33 strikes (45%). Trusting him was the right call based on the plan — the command just wasn't there in the 3rd/4th.
- Gabe (Guevara) relieved for 2.1 IP · 48 P — the <19 P reliever rule got blown up once the game got out of hand. He had to eat innings.
- Jesiah 1-for-2 with a run · Guevara 1-for-2 with a double · George 1-for-3 — hits were spread but only 5 total.
- Braves' Michael F threw 4 IP on 59-36 (61% strikes) · Jordan C relieved for the one Desai run · Mason M closed with a K.

Up 3-0 before Wolfpack came up. They answered 4 in the bottom of the 1st. The 8-run 2nd was the game. Pitching rotation flipped from plan — Ellison started (not Archie). Archie relieved.

🌟 Jesiah 1-for-2 with a TRIPLE and 2 RBI — the one real highlight of G2. Deep gap, cleared the fence line, both baserunners scored.
G2 Takeaways
- Pitching plan deviated: Ellison started, not Archie. Ellison went 1.1 IP · 63 P · 5 BB · 10 R. His 63-pitch outing locks him out for 3 days rest-wise.
- Archie relieved for 2.1 IP · 6 R but only 1 ER — defense issues (5 team errors) inflated his line. 53 P / 23 strikes.
- Jesiah's 2-RBI triple is the saving grace of the game — real power stroke to the gap.
- 5 errors (Kadak, Gallagher, Abiamiri 2, Schupp) — the 8-run 2nd was fueled by both walks and defensive breakdowns.
- George 2-for-2 (1 run, 1 RBI, 1 SB) coming off the bench · Andreas 1-for-1 w/ walk and 4 SB on the day.
G3 · vs Shore Sun Devils 11U (Sunday Bracket)
Sun Oct 4 · 4 IP mercySHORE 20·DESAI 0
9 runs in the bottom of the 1st. It was over before our #4 hitter batted. Shore's Brayden H completely shut us down: 4 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 11 K on 80 pitches. Yash made first start of weekend (72 P on 9/27, eligible 10/2) — control not there.

17 BB issued in 4 IP. Yash 5 BB, Moss 6 BB, Carter 4 BB in 0 IP. The season-long command problem showed up again at the worst possible time.
G3 Takeaways
- Shore's Brayden H dealt: 4 IP · 2 H · 0 R · 11 K on 80 P (56% strikes). Our hitters had no answer — 11 K's in 13 ABs.
- Yash's return start was rough. 0.2 IP · 39 P · 5 BB · 7 R. First outing after 6-day Pitch Smart rest from 9/27's 72-P game.
- George's 1/3 inning was clean — got the only Desai strikeout in relief. Positive to end on.
- Only 2 Desai hits (Andreas, Abiamiri). 4 BB drawn against Shore's rotation.
- Shore had 11 batters, 20 runs, 8 hits, 0 errors — crisp day for them.
