SPRING FLING II RESULTS - NCS CAFARELLI 4/26-4/27/25

​What an incredible Weekend at 𝐒𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐅𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐈𝐈! Sunshine, fierce competition, and nonstop baseball action made for an unforgettable weekend at the Spring Fling II event! With 45 teams battling it out across 6 divisions, the energy was electric from start to finish. There were 17 out of the 45 teams that were playing in their first NCS Cafarelli event this year.

Games lit up the East Valley at Crossroads Park and the West Valley at Independence and Youngker High Schools, showcasing top-tier talent on every field.

We celebrated 76 outstanding individual performances with Player of the Game awards, while 9 teams earned Championship Rings and another 9 claimed Finalist Rings. The bronze division also took home Championship and Finalist team Medals - a well-deserved recognition of their grit and hustle.

S.A.B.A. took home the 14u championship by going 4-0 and outscoring their opponents 34-2 in their first NCS Cafarelli tournament this year. They have an 8-game win streak and have played in 3 total NCS events this year taking home first place back-to-back now.

S.A.B.A. Green was 3-0 (outscoring their opponents 41-15) heading into the championship game against S.A.B.A. This was their first NCS Cafarelli tournament of the year and they barely lost 1-0 in a closely contested championship match.

Dirtbags Grijalva 2029 went 2-0 on Saturday in their first NCS Cafarelli tournament, although they did participate in the HS Showcase Event in December. They ended up just missing out on the championship game after losing to S.A.B.A. Green 10-9.

The EM Firebirds were the fourth team going 2-0 on Saturday, also playing in their first NCS Cafarelli tournament. They went up against eventual champion S.A.B.A. in the semi-finals and were defeated 12-1.

This was the Prescott Rebels second NCS Cafarelli tournament this year. They started of with a resounding 14-0 win over Angels Black and then lost their next 2 games.

Overfly AZ Grey ended up the high seed in the silver bracket after going 0-2 on Saturday. They bounced back when it counted, however, finishing with 2 straight wins on Sunday, and outscoring their opponents 26-4 to take home the Silver bracket championship. This was also their first NCS Cafarelli tournament, so a good result to take home rings in their first event.

AZ Sticks, Premier Baseball Arizona, and Angels Black all went 0-2 on Saturday as well. Premier Baseball got a win over AZ Sticks on Sunday before losing the silver championship to Overfly AZ Grey.

It was AZ Sticks third NCS event this year, while it was the second for Premier Baseball and Angels Black, as they all look to earn their first championship soon.

Three teams went 2-0 on Saturday to make it to the gold championship round on Sunday, and the other two teams that made it to the gold bracket went 1-0-1. Rebels Carolina Blue was one of those teams that went 1-0-1, and were the bottom seed heading into Sunday. Something changed, however, as they went 3-0 while taking the long road to the championship, but eventually winning it all by defeating the Arizona Defenders 14-1 in the Championship. They had some close games all weekend long playing in their third NCS event. Rebels Carolina Blue have won their last 2 NCS tournaments and are 10-1-1 overall this year.

The Arizona Defenders came into Sunday as the #2 seed, and after going 3-0 they eventually lost to Rebels Carolina Blue in the gold championship. They had outscored their opponents 31-9 heading into the final game, but may have run out of pitching.

The AZ Outlaws were one of 3 teams that went 2-0 on Saturday, and they were the top seeded team heading into championship Sunday. They ran up against Rebels Carolina Blue in their first game and went down in a close 5-7 contest. This was the AZ Outlaws third NCS tournament and their best outing so far.

The AMDG Broncos 13u Black team was the third 2-0 team on Saturday and were the third seed in the gold bracket. They beat their opponents handily on Saturday outscoring them 27-11, but lost a tight 4-3 game to the Arizona Defenders in the semi-finals. This was their first NCS Cafarelli event this year, but it looks like we will see them again next week at our Cinco de Mayo Classic in Chandler.

ZT Prospects out of Casa Grande were playing in their first NCS Cafarelli tournament this year and were the #4 seed heading into Sunday after going 1-0-1 (tying their game against eventual tournament winner Rebels Carolina Blue 4-4). They lost in their rematch on Sunday in a nail biter 7-8 which sent them packing.

Angels Navy was the only team with a win (1-1) on Saturday which placed them on top of the silver bracket seeding for Sunday. However, they went up against a team that was looking for redemption after going 0-2 on Saturday. Angels Navy ended up losing their first Sunday game to AZ Neptune 14-2, but it still ended up being their best results in the two NCS tournaments they have played.

AZ Neptune was the 9th seed heading into Sunday and they had something to prove. They ended up going 3-0 and outscoring their opponents 54-23 on their way to the silver championship. This was the 5th NCS Cafarelli tournament for AZ Neptune and their second championship in 3 championship games.

Also going 0-2 on Saturday, Birdgang Baseball defeated AZ Nitro 4-3 to make it to the championship before losing to AZ Neptune. This was their first NCS Cafarelli tournament this year in this age division although it looks like they will be competing again next weekend in the Cinco de Mayo Classic (AZ).

AZ Nitro and Mesa Toros Red both went 0-3 over the weekend. This was the second NCS Cafarelli tournament for AZ Nitro after competing in the Spring Training Classic on 3/8/25. They are scheduled to compete in the 3rd Annual Memorial Day Classic in Payson on May 24-26th.

This was the third NCS Cafarelli tournament for the Mesa Toros Red and 4th overall NCS event. Unfortunately this was their worst outing so far this season, so we hope they perform better when they compete in our upcoming Cinco de Mayo Classic next week.

Four teams went 2-0 on Saturday to make it to the Gold bracket on Championship Sunday. The Moonshots were the #1 seed and defeated Legends 7-2 before falling to Supreme 14-4 in the finals. This was the 5th NCS tournament and 4th NCS Cafarelli event this year, and the fourth time they have come in second place. They will get their championship rings eventually.

Supreme made it to the finals by defeating the Arizona Aces 10-0 in the semi-finals and eventually going undefeated all weekend. This is the second NCS Cafarelli tournament for them and they have been champions both times, with a 7-1 overall record.

The Arizona Aces lost their first game to Supreme on Sunday in their first NCS Cafarelli tournament, but we hope to see them competing in another of our events real soon.

The Legends also lost their semi-final game on Sunday to Moonshots in their first NCS Cafarelli tournament. We look forward to seeing them again in Payson at our Memorial Day Weekend Tournament.

The four teams that made it to the Silver bracket are the Bulldogs (1-0-1), Young Goats Elite (1-1-0), Arizona Dust Devils (1-1-0), and Angels Gold (0-1-1). The Arizona Dust Devils were eventual champions in the Silver bracket by going 2-0 on Sunday outscoring their opponents 33-2 in the process. This was the 11th NCS Cafarelli tournament for the Dust Devils! They have won multiple NCS tournaments and we continue to appreciate their commitment to our program and what we are doing for the kids. We will surely see them again real soon.

The Bulldogs defeated Angels Gold 10-9 in the semi-final game on Sunday to make it to the silver championship. This was the Bulldogs second NCS Cafarelli tournament and 5th overall NCS tournament this season. They have won a silver championship and have played for an additional two championship coming up just short. We will see them again at our Payson event.

The Young Goats Elite were shutout 10-0 in their semi-final game against the Arizona Dust Devils to end their weekend. This is the 2nd NCS Cafarelli event for them and 3rd NCS tournament this year. They won the Silver bracket in our Christmas Classic event back in December. They have a few more NCS tournaments scheduled for this year.

The Angels Gold team lost a close one to the Bulldogs in their semi-final game on Sunday. This was the second NCS tournament for Angels Gold. They most recently won our Silver bracket at our President's Day Classic event in February, and will see them in a couple of weeks at our Mother's Day Tournament.

The four teams that went 0-2 on Saturday and placed into the Bronze bracket were the Arizona Dust Devils - Martinez, AZ Sticks, Devils BBC, and Monsoons Baseball. The AZ Sticks came on strong Sunday going 2-0 and winning the Bronze bracket over the Arizona Dust Devils - Martinez in a hard fought battle 15-9. This was the AZ Sticks second NCS tournament and their first Championship. We will see them again on Mother's Day.

The Arizona Dust Devils - Martinez defeated Monsoon 10-4 in the semi-finals before eventually losing in the championship game. This was the second NCS tournament for them and the first time, and hopefully not the last time they will play for a championship.

Monsoons Baseball lost all 3 games this weekend in their second NCS event of the year. They continue to work hard in every facet of the game, and we will see them again next weekend at the Cinco de Mayo Classic.

Devils BBC also ended up going 0-3 this weekend, but played a couple of competitive matches losing 9-4 against Legends on Saturday and losing 4-2 against AZ Sticks on Sunday. This was their 3rd NCS Cafarelli tournament this year and they will have an opportunity to get back on the winning side by playing in several of our upcoming tournaments.

There were just 3 teams competing in the 11u division this weekend so they played a 4-game round robin tournament with the best record taking home the championship. Heat Baseball Club were the eventual champions going 4-0 over the weekend to take home the rings in their first NCS tournament this season.

The Arizona Aces went 2-2 over the weekend to secure second place and take home finalist rings for the second time in three NCS Cafarelli tournaments.

The Moonshots struggled as they played in their first NCS tournament this year. I know that they will improve with more playing time together and we hope to see them competing in another NCS Cafarelli event soon.

The 10u division saw some very competitive teams viying for that championship, with Birdgang Baseball eventually taking home the rings. They put up 72 runs in 4 games as their offense was fire! This was the 5th NCS Cafarelli tournament for Birdgang this season, and this is their second straight championship win after losing the previous two championship games they played in.

AZ643 had a comeback win against AZ Sticks to make it to the championship game. They were 3-0 heading into the championship game in their first NCS Cafarelli tournament. They competed hard and we will see them again in a couple of weeks at the Mother's Day Tournament on 5/10-5/11.

Lil Slammers Baseball was the third 2-0 team on Saturday. They won their first game on Sunday by defeating the Hounds 17-5 before they lost to Birdgang in the semi-finals. This was their second NCS Cafarelli tournament, but 7th NCS tournament overall this season. They have won 3 previous NCS Championships in 4 attempts.

After losing both games on Saturday by a total of 4 runs, AZ Sticks came out strong and defeated the Arizona Dragons 14-6 in their first game on Sunday. They eventually lost to AZ643 12-11 in the semi-finals. This was their second NCS Cafarelli tournament this year.

 Both the Arizona Dragons and Hounds Baseball went 0-3 over the weekend, with both teams competing to the very end. The Arizona Dragons had a couple players end up getting sick and they had to play with 8 players on Sunday but they didn't give up! This was the Arizona Dragons second NCS Cafarelli tournament this year, and they are registered for at least two more future events. This was also the first NCS tournament for Hounds Baseball, and they are also registered for at least two more before the end of the season. I am sure there are more wins in store for both teams.

Bambinos Elite 9u went undefeated this weekend (4-0) on their way to taking home the championship rings. They had a close 9-8 semi-final win over Cactus Jaxx before defeating Arizona Mayhem in the championship. This was the second NCS Cafarelli tournament for Bambinos Elite 9u and their first championship win after making it to the finals in our Toys For Tots event in December.

Arizona Mayhem was the only other undefeated team (2-0) heading into Sunday, and they were the #1 seed. They defeated the Sluggers 14-2 in the semi-final game before running into the hot Bambinos Elite 9u team. This was the 5th NCS Cafarelli tournament for Mayhem and 7th overall NCS tournament. Arizona Mayhem had won 2 previous championships back-to-back, including last week's Spring Fling.

Cactus Jaxx went 1-1 on Saturday and unfortunately lost a nail biter on Sunday to the Bambinos 9-8 in the semi-finals. This was their first NCS Cafarelli tournament and we will see them again next week!

The Sluggers and Bambinos 9u teams both went 0-2 on Saturday and met up in their first game on Sunday. The Sluggers got the best of the Bambinos 9u team winning 17-9 before eventually losing to Arizona Mayhem in the semi-finals. This was the Sluggers first NCS tournament, but we will see them again on Memorial Day weekend up in Payson.

The Bambinos 9u team worked hard all weekend long to try and get a win in their first NCS Cafarelli tournament. They put up a lot of runs, but unfortunately gave up even more. We will see them next weekend also at the Cinco de Mayo Classic in Chandler. 

Here's to incredible memories, hard-fought wins, and the spirit of the game! Thank you, coaches, players, and parents!! ⚾💪
