12U Calvin Lorance

RHP/INF

BERLIN, MD.

S.D.M.S.

Springing into April is 12U Calvin Lorance. The righty has been with

the Aces organization since the doors opened in 2014 and is devel-

oping quite nicely. So far this spring, Lorance has been a force on

the mound and at the plate. On the season, he is hitting .400 for

the 12U club while belting four big fly’s just in last weeks tourna-

ment alone. From the mound, Lorance is sporting a 1.714 ERA with

25 punchouts.

Calvin, the Berlin, Md. product, is the son of Keith Lorance and

Katie McAleer. Starting this month, every featured player will now

be sponsored as MOE’S SOUTHWEST GRILL SPOTLIGHT PLAYER OF

THE MONTH. Also, the recipient will receive $20 in Moe Bucks.

Huge kudos to Calvin for his awesome work so far this spring.

Now, go get yourself a burrito!

2017 ACES SPRING CHALLENGE

IS IN THE BOOKS! On the weekend of April 8-9th, the Delmarva Aces complet-

ed another first as they hosted their own tournament at

Georgetown Little League. Behind the 2017 ACES SPRING

CHALLENGE were the 12U East parents and players as it was

a fundraiser for their Cooperstown quest!

As all tournament directors understand, every event has the

chance of canceling due to weather. Luck was on the Aces

side as it was a bit windy on Saturday, but blue skies on Sun-

day rolled right into Delmarva! With the event holding 10U,

11U and 12U brackets, three separate organizations took

home the crown. All in all, an outstanding experience for

the organization and the 12U East’s road to Cooperstown.

Champions are listed below!

10U —Mid-Atlantic Shockers (Hendricks) 11U— Fruitland Force

12U— Delmarva Aces (East)

THIRD ANNUAL SHOREBIRDS NIGHT ENDS IN A WIN!

Last Saturday, was an awesome night all around! A night full of fun for Aces players,

families, and friends ended with a Delmarva Shorebirds 6-0 win over the Hager-

stown Suns. Following the win was an awesome firework display over right field to

cap off a perfect evening!

Just about 100 Aces players arrived early in their uniform to march on the field and

be recognized over the loud speaker. Also, a select few of Aces got to sprint out on

the field with the pro’s for leading the organization this winter in their Academy

evaluations. Rounding out the pre-game ceremonies and throwing the first pitch

were 10U Ceth Bireley and 13U Shawn Rosemond. We already can’t wait for next

year! #GoAces

NIBBLETT INKS WITH WESLEY,

EVERY SENIOR TO PLAY COLLEGE BALL

This past Wednesday was a great day for the Delmarva Aces. Sea-

ford High School and Mizuno Aces Upperclass, Evan Nibblett signed

his commitment to play for Wesley College this coming fall. Along

with Evan being the 27th college commitment for the Aces, he also

marked the 19th and final high school senior in the program to sign

to college.

The Aces couldn’t be more proud of these players who put in the

hard work and dedication. From Florida to Massachusetts, up and

down the east coast, 19 Aces players will be suiting up for their

respective colleges this time next spring. A rewarding experience

for both the players and the Aces program. These young men not

only prepared themselves on and off the field but also showed

their trust in the Aces and the college development system.

The Delmarva Aces staff is very privileged to have a nationwide

college network system to use to their advantage. Several Aces

coaches played all around the country and have had numerous

teammates that now coach for college programs. The recruitment

process for many players can be very difficult. Networking is just as

important as anything so why not use it to help these young men

carry on their talents. Pictured below is 18U Evan Nibblett firing a

fastball in a tournament last spring for the Aces, just as he will do

next spring for the Wesley Wolverines.

The DELMARVA COLLEGE PROSPECT BASEBALL SHOWCASE

is set for June 27th at Delaware Tech in Georgetown, Del.

The event is open to all high school students. Online regis-

tration is open and must be completed for any player to

attend. To sign up, please go to www.delmarvaaces.com

and click on the Camps/Clinics tab. See you there!
