DURBIN— The Ancient City Reds are back in action tonight under the lights at the St. Augustine Little League Complex, facing the SALL Orioles in what’s being treated as a tune-up game ahead of their next matchup this weekend against FCA Belloni.

Because the Reds train out of the St. Augustine Little League Complex, they’re required to play in the local rec league — a setup that keeps the travel roster fresh, disciplined, and in sync between tournaments. It’s not about the standings here; it’s about rhythm, timing, and sharpening the edges.

And if history repeats itself, the Reds are in for another strong showing. The last time these two squads met, the Reds (competing under their league alias, the SALL Braves) throttled the Orioles 14–0 in just two innings, showcasing dominant pitching, crisp fieldwork, and explosive at-bats up and down the order.

Here’s the roster for tonight’s game (as of 10:15 AM):

2 – Brendan Roberts

3 – Eli Norquist

8 – Liam Tarr

15 – Patrick Halloran

16 – Gabe Crozier

21 – Hayden Perryman

55 – Mathew Skorstad

— Avery Ward

— Crimson Lemmon

Injury Report:

• Easton Winters remains on the IL (arm injury).
• Hayden Perryman (#21) is day-to-day (DTDIL) with an illness and will be a game-time decision.

If Perryman can’t go, the Reds will play with eight — and as always, they’ll compete with that same fight-first mentality that’s become their trademark.

The Reds will take the field tonight as the SALL Braves, with first pitch at 6:30 PM in St. Augustine.

🔥 Tune-up tonight. FCA Belloni on deck Saturday.

Locked in, focused, and ready — the Ancient City Reds are staying sharp.
