PBR Junior Fall Championships: No. 1-seeded Bulls Black glide to the 13U title

The 13U PBR Junior Fall Championships title game featured an expected finish. The Indiana Bulls baseball program’s 13U Black squad – arguably the pound-for-pound best team in Westfield, Ind., this weekend – earned back-to-back 10-0, four-inning victories in the semifinals and championship game to take home their neighborhood’s fall crown.

Their opponent in the title game was familiar: the Indiana Bulls Grey squad.

After RHP Josh Burton (2024) shut out the Midwest Mercenaries in the semifinals, his staffmates Hogan Denny (2024) and Carson Druckery (2024) combined to do the same thing to Bulls Grey in the final 13U game of the weekend. Denny struck out four over his two scoreless innings of work and Druckery struck out three which allowed their electric offense to pour it on early.

Denny was also one of seven different Bulls Black players to tally a hit; he doubled and drove in a pair of runs in the title game. Cole Sigler (2024) had been barreling baseballs all day and it seamlessly carried over against Bulls Grey, too. He also doubled and collected two RBIs. The winning pitcher in the semifinals game, Burton, was the third Bulls Black batter to record two RBIs.

Despite finishing second in the 13U tournament, Bulls Grey deserve some serious credit for the big Sunday they put together. The No. 3-ranked 13U squad persevered past a game one defeat in pool play against Midwest Mercenaries to to win three straight games for a seat in the championship game. They slid past an especially young and hungry Cangelosi Sparks team in the quarterfinals, the No. 2-ranked Bulls White team in the semis, and just couldn’t take down the heavyweight Bulls Black team.
