Lake Shore GraySox 10U – World Series Champs!!!

This month we want to recognize a special group of young ballplayers as our BATT Academy – MEMBERS OF THE MONTH.  They are the Lakeshore GraySox 10U travel team.  Not only is each player on the team a BATT Academy member, they can now all be called CHAMPIONS!!  The GraySox competed in the Cal Ripken “Big Kahuna” Tournament in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.  The GraySox returned to Maryland as champions after cruising through the competition with an 8-1 record.  In the championship game they defeated the Saints of St. Petersburg Florida by the score of 10-8.  Congratulations to the 10U GraySox, we are extremely proud of you for the excellent job you did representing Lake Shore, the BATT Academy, and the entire state of Maryland.  Job well done!!

  This past week, Coach Acevedo and Coach Williams along with several other college coaches and pro scouts, had the unique opportunity to work with over 200 high school baseball players from across the country at the United States Naval Academy.  It was a long, but extremely fun and informative camp that gave kids a unique opportunity to not only receive top notch instruction from some of the best college coaches around, but also a taste of what life is like as a midshipman at the US Naval Academy.  Coaches and players lived in the dorms on base for the duration of camp and were exposed to some of the daily routines that a midshipman player or coach goes through each day.  Read the rest of this entry »
