The Kokomo cfd Saints II will have one last summer of baseball in the summer of 2018.  Unfortunately, we were unable to find enough 19U tournaments in the Midwest.  Therefore, we have decided to have an 18U Team.  The Saints are looking to add two more 18 year-old Pitchers for the 2018 season and have already picked up some very quality players, but are looking to add 2 more pitchers for the 2018 season and round the roster out with 15 to 16 players.  If you will be 18 and are a pitcher and you have an interest in playing, please email Brent Owens at brent.owens@cfdinvestments.com.

The Kokomo cfd Saints won their pool and are advancing to the Elite 8 in the Battle of Omaha.  It has been a good trip for the Saints as Noah Poe, Trevor Hummer, and Ashton Guyer picked up wins in the pool play.  Jaret Humphrey belted a Home Run on his 18th birthday!  The players have now gone to two College World Series games.  They saw TCU beat Louisville on Thursday night and they saw TCU beat Florida on Friday night.  The Saints have a cross-over game today that does not count towards our standings and then play in the Quarterfinals on Sunday and if they win the Semifinals on Sunday as well.  The Championship game is slated for Monday, June 26th.  Stay tuned for details.  All box scores and stats are up-to-date through the first 4 games of the Battle of Omaha Tournament.

UPDATE:  The Saints finished with 4 Wins and 2 Losses in Omaha.  They finished 4 & 1 in Pool play and then got beat 11 to 1 by Jefferson City, Missouri in the Quarterfinals.  Jefferson City featured several players from the Missouri 5A State Championship High School Baseball Team and the Saints faced their best pitcher.  A leftie that was named Mr. Baseball for the State of Missouri.  Overall, a great experience for the Saints as they got to the Elite 8 out of 42 teams.  Most members of the team saw 3 to 5 College World Series games in person.  Hopefully a trip that created a lifetime of memories for the players.  Saints head to Cedar Point on June 30th - July 2nd for their next tournament.  Stay tuned for details.  All Stats and Box Scores are up-to-date as of June 27th.

It was with great pride and excitement that I read the 2017 Howard County Statistical Leaderboard and saw all of the current and former great players that have played for the Kokomo cfd Saints II Baseball Program since 2013.  It is a testament to the great players that I have been Blessed and Privileged to coach.  Very thankful for all of them!  They have created cherished memories that will last a life time!!!  Congratulations to everyone highlighted in yellow!  I am very proud of you and consider/considered it an honor to coach you!

The 15U Kokomo cfd Saints II team improved to 17 & 3 as they won 4 games in route to securing a 2nd place finish in the Cincinnati Reds Youth Tournament Series at beautiful Cincinnati Reds Youth Academy.  The only game that the saints lost was a 3 to 2 game in the Championship against the Midwest Prospects and the Saints were rallying with the bases loaded and the tying run on 3rd and the winning run on 2nd when a sharp line drive turned into a game ending double play.  It was a great baseball game! The Saints got to play on turf fields and attended a the Cincinnati Reds against the Milwaukee Brewers Baseball game.  It was another great experience for this group of young men!

On a day where they had to battle out of the Loser's Bracket and play four games in one day with the need to win the Final 3 games, the 15U Kokomo cfd Saints II team dug deep and had an amazing day.  The day started off at 10:00 AM with a 7 to 5 loss against the Indiana Hurricanes.  That dropped the Saints into the Loser Bracket where they played a 12:30 PM game against the USA Nationals.  Kacy Wilson pitched a solid 7 innings to help the Saints win 2 to 0 in a very well played game.  In the 3:30 game, the Saints had another crack at the Indiana Hurricanes.  Through 6 innings, they were down 5 to 3 and basically had trailed the Hurricanes for 13 STRAIGHT innings (Going back to the 10 AM game) before breaking out for 9 runs in the Top of the 7th to get the 12 to 5 come from behind win to set up the Saints 4th game of the day which started at 6:30 PM.  The Saints left little doubt by going on to win the Championship Game 12 to 2 in six innings.  Cooper O'Neal picked up two wins on the day and Jaret Humphrey continued his Hot Hitting by hitting a Grand Slam in the Championship Game and knocking in 5 of the Saints 12 Runs.  Humphrey now has 29 RBI in just 14 games which includes 4 Tape Measure Home Runs.  The Saints continue their special season by going to Cincinnati over the 4th of July week-end where they plan on playing at least 4 games, watching the Cincinnati Reds play the Milwaukee Brewers, and hopefully come home with their 4th Straight Tournament Championship!!!

The 15U Kokomo cfd Saints II went 4 & 0 in Omaha to claim the Battle of Omaha Tournament Championship!  In game 1, the Saints beat Bellevue, Nebraska 10 to 4.  In game 2, the Saints beat Orange County, California 7 to 2.  In the Semi-Finals, the Saints beat Simi Valley, California 5 to 4 on a walk-off Single AND in the Championship Game, the Saints beat Woodbury, Minnesota 13 to 1 in 5 Innings as the Saints got 17 hits to bring the hardware back home to Indiana!  Along the way, the team got to watch three College World Series games together.  We watched Cal State Fulerton get beat by Vanderbilt 4 to 3.  We watched Florida beat Virginia 2 to 1 and we watched Vanderbilt beat TCU 1 to 0 in a great pitcher's dual.  It was a great start to the 2015 Season.  The 15U Saints travel to Taylor University this week-end to play in a 7 Team College Showcase Tournament.  

The 17U team went 3 & 1 in Omaha and currently stand at 4 & 1 on the season.  They finished in the Elite 8 out of 42 teams in Omaha!  This team also had the opportunity to watch 2 College World Series games while in Omaha.  They return to action this week-end in Richmond at Earlham College and McBride Stadium in a College Showcase Tournament.

16U Saints Claim Runner-Up Trophy

In a rain shortened tournament, the Saints finished 3rd place out of 12 teams in the Golden Dome Showdown in South Bend.  They lost 1 to 0 against the Championship team, Illinois Prospects.

The 14U Kokomo cfd Saints II team beat the Indiana Mustants 9 to 1 and the Stone Cutters 8 to 0 to earn the #1 Seed in the Kokomo Invitational Tournament.  There were three teams who finished Pool Play at 2 & 0.  They were the Saints, #2 Seed Elkhart Titans, and the #3 Seed Carmel Hounds.  The tie-breaker was Runs Allowed and the Saints only allowed 1 run in 2 games while the Titans allowed 8 and the Hounds allowed 11.
