Despite the quality of the competition, the Northerners pounded their opponents throughout the weekend, outscoring the opposition 61 to 7 on their way to a 6 – 0 record. The performance was so dominating that the Braves nearly had more homeruns (12) than their opponents had hits (13). The tournament victory was the Braves 6th in the last 10 tournaments entered and earned the Braves an invite to the Triple Crown Super Nationals Tournament in Myrtle Beach, NC.
The Braves North team is made up of kids from Arlington, Fairfax and Loudoun counties including 9 boys from Vienna and McLean. For a full write-up click here.
