OF Christian Kelley (2026) just misses leaving the yard but settles for a stand up double.
Tilted path with a ton of pull side juice, doubled down the LF line last night as well.
Golden Gophers trail 3-1, coming to bat T5.
#ALSouth26 || @PB_Uncommitted
RHP/SS Bronson Moore (@Bronson_Moore03, 2028) impressive in his start against a quality 7A club.
Higher 3/4 slot, low effort delivery with feel to rip of tightly spun breaking balls in any count. Doubles as a quality SS/hitter.
FB: 80-83 mph (held throughout)
CB: 71-72 (+ feel & spin)

3B Will Vaughan (@WilliamVaughan_, 2027)
played a tun on this swing to cut the Golden Gophers deficit to 3-2, still hitting T6.
Middle of the order bat that has got off some impressive swings this weekend. Big run producer for the Gophers.

1B/RHP Slade Wilson (2026) works a long AB, eventually lining a 3-2 offering the other way for a single. Simple and efficient path with the hands.
He’s left stranded but the Golden Gophers lead 2-1, headed to T5.
#ALHS26 || @PB_Uncommitted
2B Caleb Chapman (2026) with a loud leadoff backside double to get the Golden Gopher 1st inning going.
Chapman later scores on a fielder’s choice to stake Hueytown to an early 1-0 lead, headed to B1.

RHP/SS Jackson Carmichael (@Jackson9644, 2026) attacking the zone with both pitches, able to mix and match in any count.
Clean operation from a high 3/4 slot. Quick arm, can spot the fastball to both sides of the dish. High spin breaking ball.
FB: 85-86 mph
CB: 73-74 mph
Final line: 5.1 IP, 4 H, 1 ER, 6 Ks

SS Bronson Moore (2028) with another quality swing to find a hole for a single to CF.
Does a job here as the Golden Gophers trying to get something started offensively.
UMS-Wright leads 1-0, T6. #ALSouth26
Big swing in a big spot for OF Christian Kelley (2026).
The right-handed simplifies & pulls the barrel in to get to this pitch & drives it down the LF line for an RBI double.
Golden Gophers cut into the deficit to make it 2-1, headed to the 7th.
#ALSouth26 || @PB_Uncommitted
This young man is as consistent as they come with lots of game experience. Just a SO but already with about 40 V starts under his belt and 150 at bats and holds down the middle of the field at SS.
INF Bronson Moore (2028) with a nice piece of hitting as he drops one in the backside gap for a knock.
Hueytown loads the bases in the first, looking to take an early lead.
#ALSouth26
OF Braylon Towns (@BTowns2027, 2027) picked up a single in hist first at-bat, follows it up with a sac-fly to CF here.
Golden Gophers knot this game up at 2-2.
#PBSouth26 | @PB_Uncommitted
SS Jackson Carmichael (@Jackson9644, 2026) drops a single into right here as he reaches for the third time today.
Would later come around to score, Hueytown regains the lead.
3-2, B5.
@EastMissBB signee.
#ALSouth26
Quick glance at RHP Will Vaughan (@WilliamVaughan_, 2027) who turned in six strong innings in his start.
Worked in the low-80’s with the FB from a higher, nearly OTT slot. Showed mid-70’s curveball as a secondary offering.
