Babe Ruth LoCos Head to State Tourney

The Greater Loudoun Babe Ruth 13U All Stars won the District 8 Championship July 9 and now head to state tournament, which begins July 12.

The GLBR "LoCos" shut out their opponents with 32 unanswered runs in the District tournament: 17-0 vs. Stafford, 7-0 vs. Manassas and 8-0 in a rematch against Stafford. The LoCos kept their cool playing in record heat and humidity, with impressive focus and hard work. A speedy, accurate outfield turned potential doubles into outs at second base. Double plays, athletic catches and solid teamwork in the infield kept their opponents from reaching third base in almost every inning. The performances from the mound were spectacular, with strike out after strike out, frustrating batters.

The LoCos face the Northern Virginia winner form District 13 at 8 a.m. July 12 at Hooper Field in Summit Point, WV’s South Jefferson Park.
