⚾️ 1 DAY EASTER CLASSIC TOURNAMENT RECAP ⚾️
 📅 April 4, 2026
📍 Youngker HS (Arizona)

The 1 Day Easter Classic at Youngker High School delivered an action-packed day of baseball as 12 teams across the 12U, 13U, and 14U divisions battled it out in a fast-paced 2-game guarantee format.

Arizona showed off with beautiful spring weather—sunny skies, warm temperatures, and a light breeze that made for ideal playing conditions from first pitch to the final out. The fields were in great shape, setting the stage for a full day of high-quality competition.
And the competition absolutely delivered.
​
Across all divisions, the theme of the day was tight, hard-fought games. Multiple matchups came down to the final inning, with teams trading big moments, clutch hits, and key defensive plays. There were no easy wins—every team had to earn it, and the level of parity made for an exciting tournament from start to finish.

Here’s are the results of the championship matchups:

🏆 12U DIVISION
🥇 Champions – Slam Sox 11U Garcia
🥈 Finalists – Valley Goats

The Slam Sox 11U Garcia squad proved they could handle pressure, going a perfect 3-0 on the day—but it was anything but easy. They lived on the edge, winning two games by just one run, including a nail-biting championship victory. Time and time again, they delivered in clutch moments to seal the title.

​The Valley Goats battled their way into the championship after grinding through a competitive pool play, including a hard-fought tie against Moonshots. Their strong overall performance earned them the #2 seed and a shot at the title, where they pushed the Slam Sox in another tight contest.

🏆 13U DIVISION
🥇 Champions – Copa Chaos
🥈 Finalists – Legends

This division featured one of the best storylines of the day. Copa Chaos and Legends fought to a 5-5 tie earlier, setting the stage for an intense rematch in the championship.
And it didn’t disappoint.

In a back-and-forth battle, both teams traded runs and momentum, but Copa Chaos found a way to come through late, edging out Legends 6-4 in another close finish to claim the championship.

🏆 14U DIVISION
🥇 Champions – AZ Wildfire
🥈 Finalists – Marathon

If there was a redemption story of the day, this was it. Marathon came into the championship game undefeated at 2-0 and full of confidence after a dominant 12-2 win over AZ Wildfire earlier in the day. But championships bring out the best—and AZ Wildfire answered.

In a dramatic, tightly contested final, Wildfire flipped the script and escaped with a 3-2 victory, avenging their earlier loss and capturing the title in thrilling fashion.

Shoutout to CBA Futures as well, who showed just how competitive this division was—dropping both of their games by only one run each. Every matchup in 14U was a battle.

A huge thank you to all the players, coaches, and families who came out and made this event special. The effort, sportsmanship, and energy throughout the day were outstanding, and it’s what makes tournaments like this so much fun.

We hope everyone had a great experience—and most importantly, hoping all of you had a Wonderful Easter Sunday! 🐣⚾
