Marty Tyson's Corona Angels reached the Final Four of the PGF 18U Premier National last week and his 14U Premier squad looks like a team that could contend for a title, especially the way Maryland-committed 2021 right-hander Kendall Mangel and 2022 Arizona State-committed right-hander Kylee Magee were pitching on Tuesday at Huntington Beach Sports Complex.

"It feels great, going into bracket play and starting off with a win," said Mangel, who led Chino Hills High to a semifinal finish in CIF-SS Division I as a freshman. "It feels good. We have a lot of confidence as a team. We just have to keep playing together as a team and a keep on going."

Magee allowed one hit, no walks and struck out five in two innings to nail down the save.

"It's just my job to have my pitcher's back," Magee said. "If she's pitching a lot out here this week, it's just my job to close it out for her."

"I just think my team's coming out very competitive," Boyer said, "and we're getting off to a good start. (We're) just starting off with some hits and getting some scoring early in the game and feeling fine."

Texas Blaze Futures 7, Firecrackers-Brashear/Thornburg 4

The Blaze, who are coached by Tammie Davis, held on for a victory over the Firecrackers after building a big lead thanks in part to Seleyna Daniel, a 2021 Mississippi State-committed centerfielder, who went 2 for 3 with two runs scored and made a dazzling defensive play in the outfield.

"We just have to play relaxed and that's what we did," Daniel said.

The Blaze got out to an early 7-2 lead, but the Firecrackers loaded up the bases and scored two runs in the final inning before Daniel made a spectacular diving catch in left-center field to end the game, robbing the Firecrackers of an extra-base hit with two runners on.

"It helps a lot," Daniel said of the team's big lead. "I've been struggling a little bit. It was hit really hard, but I gotta help the team and there you go. We just gotta keep doing this. Don't settle for less, don't take any team easily and play like we do."

California Suncats 3, Birmingham Thunderbolts-Flannery 1

Bella Calvo, a 2021 uncommitted right-hander, allowed four hits, one run and K'd nine to lead the Suncats, who are affiliated with the Arizona Suncats, past the Bolts for one fo the biggest victories of the day, "I had a lot of teammates backing me up," Calvo said, "Taryn (Kern) with a great clutch hit and I had a great catcher that was holding me down the entire game."
