The boys are continuing to fine tune their game in Plymouth Meeting, PA. They are utilizing Ambler Sports Academy for hitting and getting good field work done at a local field. The facility in Ambler has the Pro Pitcher system and it is an impressive machine. It depicts a pitcher on a screen going through [...]

The All-Stars in DC July 31, 2008

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 [...]

On the way to DC July 29, 2008

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 [...]

MEA Champions!!! July 27, 2008

The next big step has been taken as our boys shut out the team from UAE 5-0. The highlight of the game was the unbelievable pitching performance by Beau Branton. UAE mustered only one hit, a single and Beau threw 14 strike-outs over the six innings.

Clean Sweep! All-Stars 3-0 going into the final July 27, 2008

In another shortened game, our boys defeated Kuwait 15-0.

The sun was out as the boys took the field secure in the knowledge that a place in the big game was secure. They did not let up. Evan Merriwether took the field as the starting pitcher and over the course of three innings proceeded to rack up [...]

Second Win for the Saudi All-Stars July 25, 2008

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.

The boys can now find out if blondes really do have more fun! As thee story goes, the travel team has blonded their hair every year but one. That year [...]

Second entry in the pool July 14, 2008

It is less than a week before we leave for Kutno, Poland! I think everyone is ready to get this show on the road. The boys are still working hard and in my humble opinion are looking great. The second entry to the pool we will hopefully participate in has been determined. The Edogawa Minami [...]
