Three New Padres lead team to 3rd Place Finish in USSSA's Florence Frenzy Tournament


The Pee Dee Padres welcomed a few new faces to their lineup for the first tournament of the 2014-15 season.  Treion McFarland, Hunter Watford and Asher Wallace (pictured above) made their debuts for the Padres.  All three newcomers played pivotal roles in the Padres 2-2 record on the weekend and overall 3rd place finish.  In the end the Stingers and Pelicans took home the hardware. 

Florence Frenzy Results:

Game One:  Stingers 14 Padres 3
Game Two:  Padres 19 Wrecking Crew 7
Game Three: Pelicans 8 Padres 7
Game Four: Padres 15 Wrecking Crew 0

The Padres played great in all four games.  Several players made their pitching debuts during the weekend.  Riley Hendrix stepped up big for the Padres, throwing a no-hitter in Game Four.  Hendrix was not the only hero in Game Four; Asher Wallace ended the game with an RBI walk-off (enacting the 3-inning - 15 run rule).

Also playing in the tournament were:

Ace Gibson
Cole Winburn
Quez Hadley
Nolan McInnis
McKendrie Douglas
Grayson Weekley
Evan Young

The Padres will take the field again on the weekend of August 16-17.
