While waiting for the championship game, we asked the boys, coaches, and Larry what their favorite part of playing at The Shipyard had been all week. ⚾️🌊

One thing everyone could agree on—Larry is the ultimate team supporter. From radar gunning pitches and tracking pitch counts to scouting other teams and delivering the best pep talks around, he’s always doing whatever he can to help the boys succeed. Every team needs a Larry, but not ours, he’s taken.

Coach Derek Brown said he would go for a swim if the boys won it all… but the champs had other plans! 🏆🦭

After an undefeated week and bringing home the championship, the boys let Coach cash in on his promise by taking another shot at the famous sea lion instead of taking a dip in the alligator infested water. 😂

A week we’ll never forget. Proud of every one of these boys for battling, competing, and never backing down. Now it’s time to celebrate! 💪⚾️🏆
