Pines Charter Prevails As BCAA Tier 2 Tournament Champions

Box Score

The Pembroke Pines Charter Jaguars have some new hardware to add to their trophy collection.

Thanks to a pair of runs in the bottom of the sixth inning, the Jaguars completed the week-long gauntlet through the BCAA Tournament as the Tier Two Champions with a 3-2 victory over the Nova Titans. Back-to-back RBI singles from sophomores Christian Morales and Trey Glaser gave Pines Charter the comeback, and Dean Jaworski pitched a scoreless seventh to close things out.

“This was a great team win. We came from behind twice to win the game,” Jaguars Manager Carlos Iglesias said. “Clutch hitting won the game for us. With bases loaded and two outs Christian Morales tied the game with a base hit, and Trey Glaser followed with a base hit to take the lead.”

Samuel Morillo got the rally started by leading off the sixth with an infield single, before being replaced by courtesy-runner Gianfranco Mejia. When Eric Molina then drew a walk it pushed Mejia into scoring position, and Dallas Searcy followed with an infield single that loaded the bases. Morales then jumped on a 1-1 offering that plated the tying run, and Glaser was next to deliver the winner.

Jaworski allowed a walk to Musa Adeoye with two outs in the seventh, but he then got the next batter to fly out to left field to end the contest. Jaworski was the second reliever behind starter Sebastian Gonzalez, who allowed one run in five strong innings and had nine strikeouts.

“Sebastian Gonzalez pitched a great game,” Iglesias said. “Sebastian has been pitching at the varsity level since his freshman year. His maturity and his presence on the mound is outstanding.”

Dallas Searcy went 3-for-3 with an RBI to lead all hitters.

Jose Palencia was 2-for-4 with a double and a run to lead the Titans (6-1). Jordan Gonzalez had an RBI single and also scored, while Ayden Paredes delivered a quality start with a complete-game outing that kept his team in the game to the very last out.
