Ponte Vedra proved they can win big last Monday (they won by 11) and on Friday they proved they can win the close ones too. Their pitcher stepped up to hand the Beachside Barracudas a 1-0 shutout. The one-run effort marked the Sharks' lowest-scoring match of the season, but in the end it didn't matter.
Not much got past Storm Lickliter, who gave up just a hit to keep Beachside off the board. That's the fewest hits Lickliter has allowed since back in March of 2024.
At the plate, Ponte Vedra's win was truly a team effort as three different players contributed at least one hit. One of them was Jack Brady, who scored a run and stole a base while going 1-for-2.
