Here’s our TLI for Monday, May 18, 2020 …

The first club tournament in the nation since the COVID-19 pandemic was held in OKC this past weekend and Teagan Kavan and Iowa Premier 14U National were on fire en route to the USA Elite Select Top Gun Heritage Tournament title.
Kavan, a 6-foot 2023 flamethrower, tossed a two-hitter with 10 Ks to lead Iowa Premier past Oklahoma Athletics 14U Premier-Madden, 8-0, in the championship game.
“It was a long day and it was our fifth game,” Kavan said. “As a team, we had to dig deep and come together. We were able to string together some hits and get the momentum we needed to finish the day strong.
“In regards to Covid-19, with the exception that we didn’t have a spring season and had restrictions on team practices and some minor adjustments for safety, it was amazing to be back on the field, and I’m looking forward to being back next weekend in Broken Arrow, OK.”
