SA making their first appearance in the Class 4A Regionals traveled to American Heritage- Delray and played their hearts out as they battled the whole game. They faced Under Armour All-American 6'8 lefty Hunter Bowling who has an impressive fastball that gets up to 94 MPH and also possesses a hard breaking ball. The Panthers got on the board in the first but the Stallions answered back with one. Delray was able to plate 3 runs in the 3rd and had a 4-1 lead till the 7th when the Panthers were able to put a rally together and tied the game at 4 with no outs and runners on 1st and 2nd but we could not capitalize and the game went to extra innings. The Panthers had 7 errors in the game and allowed 3 un-earned runs. Brandon Valentin was magnificent on the mound, he went 8 innings and shutout the Stallions from the fourth to the eighth innings. Kenny Moreno-Costa had our biggest hit when he hit a line drive past the diving shortstop to drive in 2 runs in the 7th to tie the game.

This was the last game of our best season so far. The game could of gone either way. We played a tough team with a great pitcher. We played a great schedule and play in a tough district and regional. The stats will show that every single player on the team got better this year than from the previous year, most averages went up over .100. Hitting approaches and execution got better. Pitchers that had never pitched varsity did well. Fielding was better, base running was better (team stole 60 out of 63). We would like to thank all the seniors for their dedication and commitment and we wish you the best of luck in college.

After taking a 5-0 lead thru four innings and getting 8 hits off one of the Districts top pitchers the wheels fell off in this game. Four walks, 2 HBP and 4 hits led to 6 runs by CSC mixed in with no offensive threat in the last 3 innings led to one of the most frustrating loses in a while. Five pitchers had a chance to preserve the lead of be the hero but no saves were to be had on this day.

The Panthers scored 3 times in the second inning thanks to a Jeremy Leon's single to right that drove in two runs.

That was the second no-hitter for SA Baseball in the last 4 years. The last no hitter was by Trevor Takacs on 3/23/2012 vs. Champagnat on a 2-0 victory by the Panthers. Valentin lowered his ERA to 0.37 for the season and has allowed just 5 hits in 18 2/3 innings. Mark Bejar went 3 for 3 for the second game in a row and had a big 2 RBI single. Tyler Hall went 2 for 3 and got the last hit of the game to drive the 10th run with a shot of the left field fence. Luis Chavez had a big double in the second inning to drive the games first 2 runs.

Teixeira was outstanding on the bump for the Panthers going 5 innings (on 76 pitches) allowing 1 hit and 1 walk while striking out 8 batters. Miguel Useche and Max Baldaccini had an RBI each.

The Panthers played their rival Belen and they came out victorious this time after losing their first matchup against them. Austin Solis had a solid outing on the mound. The Panthers swung the bats well and put the ball in play. Jake Vazquez was solid at SS making all the plays.

The Panthers scored twice in the first inning and proceeded to get shutout for the next 4 innings before scoring again in the sixth in a lackluster hitting effort. The teams offense has really struggled and hopefully this is as low as it's going to get. There was 5 hits for the game two each by Jack Khawly and Kenny Moreno-Costa who is now batting .609 for the season (14 for 23) and leading Broward County with 6 doubles. Derek Cartaya had a leadoff triple in the game. PJ Ximinies went 5 2/3 allowing 1 un-earned run, allowing 3 hits and 0 walks while striking out 2 batters and picked up the W.

They have allowed only 6 runs (only 2 earned) in the last 4 games and have now lowered their ERA to 2.13 for the season.

Brandon Valentin allowed 1 un-earned run in the first inning and held Calvary till the 7th with 2 outs when another error led to their second run and that was followed by a double that drove in Calvary's 3rd run. Offensively we could not put together much. We had runners on second & third with no outs in the 4th inning and after a strike out we had a failed suicide squeeze attempt that was hit into a double play. We finally scored in the bottom of the 6th and a Derek Cartaya base hit, he stole second and went to third on the errant throw and scored on a wild pitch. Jack Khawly went 2 for 2 with a double and Kenny Moreno-Costa had a double.
