Send Ararat 12U baseball team to World Series!
Congratulations to the ARARAT 12U baseball team on winning the Cal Ripken New England Regional tournament this past week; securing a berth at the WORLD SERIES in Palm Beach, Florida beginning on August 7th (yes, less than two weeks away). For those that don't know, this is a tremendous accomplishment and a once in a lifetime opportunity for this group or 12-13 year old baseball players. This is the first time in Cal Ripken history that a team from Maine will take the field in the World Series! Most of these guys have been playing together for years and we are so proud of them, both on and off the field.
The Ararat team, representing all of New England in the World Series, is comprised of players from the towns of Harpswell, Bowdoinham, Topsham, Bowdoin and Richmond.
The team’s journey began with beating Brunswick for the district four championship in Boothbay Harbor, Noble for the State Championship in Auburn and Noble for the New England Regional Championship in Berwick with teams from Maine, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Vermont and Massachusetts being represented.
As you can imagine, this is an expensive journey (airfare, hotels, rental vehicles, uniform expenses, time off from work, etc) that we would love all of our players and their families to be able to participate in. If you are interested in helping lessen the financial burden for some of our families, it would be greatly appreciated! No amount is too small.
Thank you in advance from the bottom of our baseball loving boys' hearts!
Let's put Maine on the map at the World Series!
