Dodgers win 14u World Series

EMERSON, Ga. - “At first when I hit it I thought it was going to hang up there too long and get caught,” said Jonah Sutton. “Once I saw that the outfield was playing shallow I realized it had a shot to get down. Once I saw it get down, it was off the races.”

This was what Jonah Sutton had to say on June 16 when he played the role of hero for a Dulins Dodgers–Wright team that won the 14u PG Summer Showdown. On Tuesday, Sutton came to the plate in the bottom of the seventh with a chance to play hero again, this time in the 14u Perfect Game World Series.

Sutton got a pitch to drive and he didn't miss on Tuesday, giving the Dulins Dodgers–Wright a 4-3 championship win over Team Elite 14u. Sutton’s two-run single capped off a thrilling four run bottom of the seventh inning for a Dodgers team that refused to quit the entire week.

“To be honest, I had not hit well for the past month at all, and that is probably the reason I haven’t been hitting that much,” said Sutton, who ended up taking home the MVP honors of the tournament. “I got my confidence back when I started making contact more, and I didn't have anything to lose today. I swung as hard as I could and it went somewhere.”

Without an official at-bat through the first six games of the tournament, the rising sophomore from Collierville, Tennessee went 2-for-3 in Tuesday’s championship game. After coming up just short at the 14u WWBA National Championship last month, Sutton and his teammates knew they had something to prove at the World Series.

“We know we are the best team in the country. We didn't win the biggest tournament of the year, but we still know we can beat anyone around.”

After an 8-0 loss to Canes National in the final game of the 14u WWBA National Championship, the disappointment and sadness could be seen on the faces of every Dodgers player. Head coach Jeff Wright couldn't be prouder of his guys for finding a way to win it all this time around.

“We have a really good team. It is just a bunch of guys that stick together, and they’ve always stuck together,” said coach Wright. “There is obviously a little bit of luck involved in winning such a big tournament, but these boys just keep going.”

The team chemistry this Dulin’s Dodgers team has was evident throughout their run at this year’s 14u PG World Series. After a come from behind victory in Tuesday morning’s semifinal, the Dodgers found themselves struggling to get anything started off of Team Elite starter Hayden Murphy.

Murphy was virtually unhittable through the first six innings of play, allowing just three hits and stranding any runner that the Dodgers were able to put in scoring position.

After the Dodgers were able to scratch and claw their way to the first two runs of the bottom of the seventh inning, coach Wright had no question that Jonah Sutton was going to end the game with one swing.

“He walked up to me during the pitching change and said, ‘I can do this coach’, and I truly believed him. He’s got a lot of confidence, and he knew he was going to be the one to do it for us.”

On the mound, the duo of Ethan Coley and Kolby Branch did enough to make sure the Dodgers would have a chance to win at the end. Allowing just the three runs on six hits, Coley and Branch stepped up to make big pitches when the team needed it all game.

“Ethan Coley really gave us a chance today. He has thrown a lot of pitches, and he came in and did an excellent job for us. After that, Kolby [Branch], who has not thrown for us at all, came in and threw strikes to gut it out. We did it with guys that we don't normally have out there.”

Tuesday’s championship win capped off what has been an incredible summer for this Dulin’s Dodgers team. The Dodgers went 22-2-1 during Perfect Game events this summer, and they were able to finish on the highest note possible.

“Perfect Game puts on such a great event at such a great facility. We are so fortunate to be able to come here and play these games, and we always get great teams coming in too. Everything is just first class, and it means a lot to be able to come here and win this tournament.”

Not loss in the shuffle of a thrilling win is the performance of MV-Pitcher Javi Marrero. Marrero tossed 8 2/3 scoreless innings for Team Elite 14u this week, and he allowed just four hits and struck out 11 batters in the process.

MLK East Scout Notes Recap

‘28 OF Jakob Groeschel (OH) continues to impress with the bat on the circuit, picked up 2 2Bs in the first game today. Really athletic, went 4.4 on turn; easy to dream on all the traits. #MLKEast @PG_OhioValley pic.twitter.com/wOIwnGKnkg — Perfect Game Florida (@Florida_PG) January 17, 2026 2028 OF Jakob Groeschel (Springfield, Ohio) broke out at this event last year hitting a casual .909, and although he didn’t turn in quite the same performance, he hit a strong .462 with 4 extra-base hits, 5 walks, 5 bags and only struck out once. He’s a pretty dynamic athlete who can do a lot of things well, but the bat is the calling card as he just lives on the barrel and has no problem handling all kinds of pitching. It’s a simple swing, but he’s got fast hands and he can really impact the ball without being overly physical yet.  2030 RHP Michael Vazquez...

Time flies when you are having fun and the fact that we are almost to the halfway point of the 2026 season, proves just how entertaining things have been to this point. In what was an ultra-impactful week on the national landscape, there are some clubs fading out of the limelight while others are emerging from the shadows and showing they are a force to be reconned with. Conference play always makes the big picture come into view and we are now getting a feel for who the true contenders may be as the grind begins. The UCLA Bruins (21-2) keep their stranglehold on the top spot in the land as they remain unchallenged since the start of Big Ten play and finished the week with a (4-0) record. The Texas Longhorns (20-3) did lose back-to-back games this week but showed their resilience by winning an intense road series against now No. 7 Auburn (19-4). Georgia Tech (19-5) also had a (2-2) week...

2026 Draft Board: Top 300

Vincent Cervino

The 2026 MLB Draft class is shaping up to be one of the better in recent memory and, potentially, the best class in the last decade. It’s led by UCLA superstar shortstop Roch Cholowsky, a true five-tool prospect who’s the early favorite for 1:1. One of the most popular pieces of industry feedback when constructing this list was some variation of “Roch is too low” or “go up on Roch” and he’s the best college prospect since 2019 when Adley Rutschman (Oregon State, Orioles) was the consensus No. 1 prospect. Similarly to 2019, there’s a superstar Texas prep shortstop at No. 2, in 2019 it was Bobby Witt Jr. (Colleyville Heritage, Royals) and this year it’s Grady Emerson. Both Emerson and Alabama’s Justin Lebron would have been solid 1:1 candidates in years where Roch Cholowsky is not eligible and both have All-Star potential....

DII/DIII/NAIA Rankings Update: March 18

Nick Herfordt

In every major sport, the championship is decided in the postseason. You can lose games all year, get hot at the right time, and walk away with the hardware. The regular season is a rehearsal. The playoffs are the show.  The championship belt changes that. Borrowed from professional wrestling, boxing and ultimate fighting, the belt travels the moment the holder loses — no brackets, no seeding, no second chances. A random Tuesday non-conference game in Milledgeville, Georgia  becomes a title fight. A spring trip to Florida becomes a gauntlet. The defending national champion can lose the belt before February is over.  We’re tracking three belts this season — NCAA Division II, NAIA, and NCAA Division III — each starting with the defending national champion. The results have been exactly as chaotic as you’d expect.  Worth noting along the...

We have another update to the National Top-50 after two weeks of even more games being played in the southern states along with seasons just starting to kick off across the country. We’re quickly approaching another stellar high school event, the NHSI in Cary, and with that will come even more movement in these rankings. St. John Bosco (CA) continues to hold firm at the No. 1 position after a 4-0 start to their season. Venice (FL) has been rolling throughout the early portion of the year and jumps up to No. 2 in the country. One of the biggest movers in this update is The Bennett School (TX) jumping from unranked to No. 8 in the country after beating a handful of top ranked programs to start the year. Some other big movers inside the top-10 are Barbe (LA), who jumps from No. 18 to No. 5 in this update as well as Aledo (TX) who jumps from No. 20 to No. 9. The rest of the top-10...
