The NEB Jays took home the 2019 18u NEB Invitational with a 11-5 win in the Championships on Monday night vs Route 2 Blue Sox at the New England Baseball Complex. The Jays scored 5 runs in the first and added 2 runs in the second and held on the rest of the way to take home the title. Tournament MVP Johnny Pinard not only drove in 3 runs in the Championship Game he also threw 3 innings to secure the win. The Route 2 Blue Sox went 3-0 in pool play and advanced to the Championships with a 7-6 walk off over CT Grind-White. 

To get to the championship the Jays beat the SSA Nationals out of New York 6-3. Other pool winners that weren't able to participate in playoffs due to school were: Connecticut Capitals, CT Edge, Baseball U-CT Black, Legends Prospects and the Connecticut Hurricanes 

Along with the competitive play our number 1 goal with the tournament is try and attract as many college coaches as possible. This year we were able to have more than 70 college coaches attend from all over the north east region and beyond from all levels (D 1, 2, 3 and NAIA). Next up on the NEB tournament slate is the 16u North East Baseball Classic June 29th-July 1st in Worcester, MA
