Two Teams. Two National Championships. No. 1 in the Nation.

Wildcatters 12U and 9U capture PGI National Championship titles

The Wildcatters are celebrating an unforgettable achievement after two teams claimed PGI National Championship titles on July 17, 2026.

Both the Wildcatters 12U and 9U teams completed outstanding championship runs, bringing home national titles and earning the No. 1 ranking in the nation for their respective age groups.

Winning one national championship is an incredible accomplishment. Capturing two on the same day is a powerful reflection of the talent, preparation and competitive culture throughout the Wildcatters organization.

Champions on the National Stage

Throughout the tournament, both teams demonstrated the qualities that define Wildcatters Baseball: discipline, confidence, resilience and a commitment to competing for one another.

The 12U and 9U players rose to the challenge against elite competition, delivering when the pressure was at its highest. Every inning, every defensive play, every at-bat and every pitch contributed to two championship finishes that these players and families will remember for years to come.

A special congratulations goes to Hardin Sullivan, who was named MV-Pitcher for the 12U team, and Brantley Nelson, who earned MV-Player honors for the 9U team. Their performances helped lead their teams through championship play and highlighted the depth of talent across both rosters.

Their success was not built in a single weekend. It was the result of countless practices, long days at the ballpark, difficult losses, important adjustments and a shared belief in the process.

A Complete Team Effort

These championships belong to more than the players who took the field.

They represent the dedication of coaches who continually challenge and develop their athletes, the commitment of families who support the journey and the entire Wildcatters community that stands behind its teams throughout the season.

National championships require talent, but they also require trust, preparation and the willingness to put the team first. Both groups displayed those qualities throughout their championship runs.

Building the Next Generation

The accomplishments of the 12U and 9U teams reflect the Wildcatters’ continued commitment to developing players at every level.

The goal is not only to win games, but also to help young athletes grow in confidence, leadership, baseball knowledge and character. Competing successfully on the national stage shows what can happen when talented players are surrounded by strong coaching, supportive families and a culture built around development.

For younger Wildcatters players, these championships provide an inspiring example of what is possible through hard work and commitment.

No. 1 in the Nation

The Wildcatters 12U and 9U teams now stand together as PGI National Champions and the No. 1-ranked teams in the nation in their respective age divisions.

It is a historic moment for the organization and a well-earned celebration for everyone who contributed to the journey.

Congratulations to the players, coaches and families of our 12U and 9U National Championship teams, with a special shoutout to 12U MV-Pitcher Hardin Sullivan and 9U MV-Player Brantley Nelson.

Two teams. Two titles. No. 1 in the nation.

Legacy Starts Here.
