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.

USSSA Florence Frenzy Tournament Information (August 2 - 3)

We'll be playing at Freedom Florence . The address is 1515 Freedom Boulevard.

Saturday

Field 4 at 1pm vs. Stingers
Field 4 at 3pm vs. Wrecking Crew

Sunday

Field 4 at 9am vs. Pelicans

Our second game on Sunday will be determined by how we do in the first three games. We'll either play at 1pm or 3pm. We're shooting for the 1pm game because it's for the championship.

Please be at the field by noon on Saturday. If the games are ahead of schedule, they'll start the next game early. Since we play the first game on Sunday, please be at the field by 8:15. That should give us enough time to warm up and get ready for the Pelicans.

We'll wear blue jerseys and gray pants on Saturday. We'll go with the camo jerseys and gray pants on Sunday.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact Coach Bruce or Coach Joe.
