Quinn showcased his prowess by hitting two grand slams on Saturday, August 15, helping TLBR secure a 14-1 win over Pennsylvania and clinching the third-place spot at the Babe Ruth 14U World Series held in Eagle Pass, Texas. Despite being the tournament's top seed, TLBR faced an 8-6 extra-inning defeat to California in the semifinals on Friday. The All-Stars finished the series with a 6-1 record, culminating their postseason journey with an impressive 14-1 overall record, encompassing state, regional, and World Series play. Quinn's exceptional performance in Eagle Pass was evident, going 12-for-23, including three doubles, two triples, three home runs, and contributing 23 RBIs across the tournament. In the semifinal loss to California, Preston Cooksey earned Player of the Game recognition after hitting a game-tying double in the seventh inning. Parker Pennington contributed significantly in relief, posting a shutout over four innings. TLBR struck out 95 runs during the tournament. Host Eagle Pass emerged victorious in Saturday's championship game against California, winning 9-8.",
