Fuego Baseball 2029 Wins Third Straight Tournament Championship
Fuego Baseball 2029 continued its incredible run on September 12–13, 2026, going a perfect 4-0 at the September to Remember tournament at Twin Creeks and capturing its third consecutive tournament championship.
Fuego opened the weekend with a dominant 17-0 victory over Tsunami Academy 16U, followed by a 1-0 win over the Oakley Royals 16U. On Sunday, the team punched its ticket to another championship game with an 8-0 semifinal victory over HF Bercovich 35 Honors Black before defeating the California Bulldogs 2029 16U, 2-1, in a hard-fought championship game.
The pitching staff was outstanding from start to finish. Over 25 innings, Fuego allowed only seven hits and one run, and that run was unearned. The staff combined for 45 strikeouts and finished the tournament without allowing a single earned run.
Lucas Dullaghan led the staff with eight scoreless innings and 13 strikeouts, while Wyatt Bothen struck out 12 over five scoreless innings. Colin Manago added five shutout innings with 10 strikeouts, and Angel Martinez threw five scoreless innings while striking out six. Jace Asuncion and Aaron Santana combined for two more scoreless innings out of the bullpen, with Jace striking out all three batters he faced.
The offense scored 28 runs and collected 34 hits while hitting .347 as a team and posting a .496 on-base percentage. Marcus Martinez led the way, going 7-for-9 (.778) with a double, triple, five RBI and five runs scored. Wyatt Bothen drove in a team-high nine runs and collected three doubles, while Brig Puntanilla scored eight runs. Sammy Canela added the team’s home run and drove in three.
Marcus Martinez was named Fuego’s Tournament MVP, putting together a huge weekend at the plate with a 1.944 OPS while helping lead the team through another undefeated tournament run.
The championship extended Fuego’s winning streak to 13 straight games and gave the 2029 group its third consecutive tournament title. Across those three tournaments, Fuego continued to show it could win in completely different ways, from explosive offensive games to tight, low-scoring championship battles.
13 straight wins. Three straight championships. Fuego Baseball 2029 keeps rolling.
