The All-stars arrived in Washington DC after a long flight and a well earned nights rest began this segment of our adventure with a tour of the Capitol Building. It was not without incident though. There was a slight wardrobe malfunction with one player who is notably missing from the team photo in front of [...]

After a day of practice, visiting the local Kutno orphanage (an annual event for the team to drop off a donation along with various school supplies, personal supplies, and clothing donated by the travel team families), and saying goodbye to our new friends/fans from the Lombardia Little League in Milano, Italy. The boys had a last dinner with [...]

Our team won again! This time the competition was from Uganda. Their program is somewhat fledgling and they were sadly unable to match us in spite of some good hitting and pitching. Today’s game ended after 4 innings with our boys holding a 12-0 lead.

Saudi All Stars WIN!!!
July 24, 2008
Our All Stars have completed their first step towards Williamsport! In a spectacularly nail-biting game our boys defeated the team from Dubai, UAE in a 7 inning game! The boys looked a little tight at the beginning but later roared back in the true form we have come to expect.
