Player of the Week
Name: Matt Kaleta
Age:16 years-old
Class: 2020
The 16u Nationals-Navy traveled to Crystal Lake, IL this weekend to play in the Super Regional tournament. The team went 2-3 overall following an 0-2 start. The team rallied back, making it all the way to the Silver bracket championship game where they lost in a heartbreaking walk-off defeat to the Midwest Havoc, 6-5. Still, over the course of the weekend many players turned coach Bunnell’s head, but no one stood out more than outfielder Matt Kaleta. Undoubtedly, the Nationals-Navy could not have turned their weekend around with out the incredible performance from Kaleta. He had a solid weekend at the plate, going 7-11 (.636) with 7 RBI’s and 5 runs scored. Going forward, if Kaleta can keep hitting like he did this weekend look for the Nationals-Navy to drastically improve on their 6-5-1 overall record and perhaps bring home some hardware in the meantime.
