The Travelers wrapped up our 12u season and our time on the youth size field in Cooperstown, NY as we were there to compete during week 11 7/25/24 - 7/31/24. These young men played their hearts out and we represented WNC well by winning the “Around the Horn Plus” team throwing competition, and finishing 5th out of 104 teams overall. This was the largest tournament they had hosted since 2019. We went 7-1 during the week with our only loss coming to the eventual tournament champions. We outscored our opponents 109-32, hit 27 home runs, and posted a .545 team batting average over those 8 games.
Words can’t express how proud we are of these guys and this team. Cooperstown Dreams Park is certainly everything it claims to be. We want to take time to thank all our fans for the numerous messages of encouragement and support we received while in Cooperstown. Also, a huge thank you to all those who contributed to us in our fundraisers to help make this dream come true. Most importantly, thank you to our parents and families that were such huge supporters there at Cooperstown. It was such a delight to see your smiling faces each day as we rolled up to the field to take care of business. Ya’ll are the absolute best and we sincerely appreciate you!
Now, on to the big field as we start our Fall season in just a few weeks!
