The California Warriors 2019, 2020, and 2021 Elite Teams all competed in the Prospect Wire Ten San Francisco tournament. This is the first time Prospect Wire has hosted a tournament in San Francisco. This was an invite-only tournament, and the California Warriors teams were winners, winning 10, losing 2, and tying 1. The 2020 Elites played in the championship game and lost. There were may college coaches and Prospect Wire scouts attending these games. We are proud of our California Warriors players, who were able to impress college coaches and scouts with their talent and high level of play.
2019 Elite
2019 Elite went 3-1 at the tournament with their only loss coming in their opening game against the Chico Aces, losing 9-8. 2019 Elite outscored their opponents 31-17 in the four games turning in some strong pitching performances. Cooper Vasquez threw a complete game in the 2nd game of the tournament holding the California Bulldogs to just three runs. Eddie Burns then had a similar performance in the 3rd game, going four innings for the win in a closely played 5-3 game over GamePrep Baseball. Prospect Wire had this to say about Burns and Vasquez when highlighting them on twitter:
