They secured this accomplishment with an 11-7 victory over Moncks Corner. Looking ahead, the team will enter the playoffs starting July 21, where they’ll face West Columbia in a best-of-three series. Despite a recent setback against Florence, the team aims to leverage their home-field advantage and capitalize on their strong regular-season performance as they pursue further success in the tournament.

Summerville – The Summerville Post 21 baseball team has completed a clean sweep of its opponents in the South Carolina American Legion Baseball League 1, finishing the regular season with a perfect record of 12-0 after defeating Moncks Corner (Post 126) 11-7 on July 16. This victory secures Summerville home-field advantage heading into the playoffs.

The playoffs will begin on July 21, with Summerville facing off against West Columbia (Post 79) in a best-of-three series. The first game is scheduled for 7 p.m. at Pinewood Preparatory School. The series will continue on July 22 at 7 p.m. at Brookland Cayce High School. If necessary, a third game will be hosted by Summerville Post 21 on July 23 at 7 p.m.

In the decisive victory over Moncks Corner, Bryce Herpolsheimer was a standout performer for Summerville, going 3-for-4 at the plate, with four runs batted in (RBIs) and two runs scored. Nicholas Pinckney also delivered a solid performance, contributing with a 2-for-3 batting record, which included two RBIs and two runs scored. Other notable performances came from Banks Knight, Cannon Corder, and Brayden Mitchum, who each reached base twice, with Corder driving in one run and both Knight and Mitchum crossing home plate twice. Summerville’s scoring was rounded out by contributions from Garrett Blankenship, Nathan Clark, and Brady Coryell.

On the mound, pitcher Brian Shelton threw three innings, allowing two earned runs, while Coryell pitched effectively for two innings, not giving up a hit or a run, ultimately earning the win. Tripp Smith also took to the mound for the team, pitching for one-plus inning while allowing three earned runs, and Knight contributed on the mound as well, allowing one hit and one earned run.

However, just a day later, Summerville faced a setback, losing a non-league game to Florence (Post 1) by a score of 11-5, which brought their overall season record to 14-3. In the rematch against Florence, Summerville initially took the lead with two runs, one driven in by Finley Taylor and another resulting from an error on Florence’s part. Florence then responded with a strong batting performance, scoring five runs in their subsequent at-bat.

Despite efforts from Knight, who scored after hitting a double and benefiting from a wild pitch, and a Garrett Blankenship RBI single that brought Knight home and narrowed Florence’s lead to 6-4, Summerville could not regain the momentum. In the final inning, Florence extended their advantage by scoring four more runs, while Summerville only managed to add one more to their total, as Knight struck again with a double but was ultimately brought home by a single from Cannon Corder.

As Summerville moves into the playoff stage, the team will look to bounce back from their recent loss and capitalize on the home-field advantage they earned during the regular season. Given their flawless league record, expectations are high as they prepare for the best-of-three series against West Columbia and aim to advance further in the tournament.
