(Gamers did not win WS) DiamondRats 11U were undefeated in the AABC11 tournament and will represent Upstate NY in the AABC Gil Hodges World Series in Brooklyn, NY, beginning Friday, July 30th. Following this tournament victory the DiamondRats participated in the 2010 AAU National Championships at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex in Orlando, FL and finished SECOND IN THE NATION. This earned the DiamondRats an at-large bid into the National AAU Championship tournament that included 32 teams from across the North and South American continents. After facing teams from Florida, Georgia, and California in pool play, the DiamondRats advanced to the elimination round and won a hard-fought victory over the New Engalnd Nor'easters in the round of 16. The DiamondRats defeated the Astors de Biesbol (Columbia, South America) 10-2 in the quarter-finals in a 7:00 AM game that began with the sun rising during pre-game warm-ups. In the National Semi-Finals, the DiamondRats defeated the Tsunami (New Olreans, LA) before falling to the Wellington Colts (Wellington, FL) in the National Championship game.Spring Renegades10, last year's World Series Champion at 9U, has advanced to the AABC Regional in NJ in the Willie Mays Division;Adirondack Heat10 has just won the Northeast PONY10 Regional in New Haven, MS, outscoring their opponents by 37-8, and are headed to the Zone level in Chesterfield VA (finished 2nd in PONY East Zone Championship);Clifton Park Cougars10 honed their skills by playing in the ENYTB regular season before advancing to the Cal Ripken sanctioned post-season, where they won the State Championship. They will play in the Regional Championship later this week in North Tonawanda, NY (Buffalo area). And there's more. I have yet to hear from our PONY12 Champions (the Saratoga Stampede12). In addition, the Tri-City Bees Unlimited team will be participating in the National Championship Tournament Series for the Unlimited Division in both NABF and AABC, beginning in early August. Who knows, maybe one or two of the above listed teams will join ENYTB's parade of World Series Champions before the summer is over!ENYTB Sanctioned Tournament Champions Whose Quest For A World Championship Has Ended For This Year, Include:Upstate Vipers17 finished in the top 4 of the recently concluded 40-team NABF17 High School World Series in Knoxville, TN;Niskayuna Indians14 and Halfmoon Mariners both advanced to the NABF Sophomore Division World Series in Virginia and finished in the top four!;DevilCats13 won the PONY13 Section Championship and finished 2nd at the PONY13 Regional, having entered the final two rounds of play undefeated;To be the best, you must play the best, not just for a few games at the end of the season in an "all-star" contest, but day in and day out throughout the entire season. Participation in ENYTB's Gold Division fully prepares teams for the higher level of competition they will face in post-season championship tournament play. From the first game of the regular season to the last, ENYTB teams face the highest possible level of competition via ENYTB's customized scheduling formula, where every ENYTB team, including Hi Silver as well as Lo Silver teams, selects not only when it is available to play but also the strength of schedule it wishes to play. Combined with ENYTB's centralized access to NABF, PONY and AABC sanctioned National Championship Championship Tournament Series, every ENYTB team also has multiple opportunities for post-season success. This formula underlies the on-the-field success of ENYTB teams noted above. ENYTB membership is the best way to prepare your team for the next level of play. Over the last many years, ENYTB has established a well-earned reputation as a breeding ground for National Champions. Moreover, almost every player drafted by MLB from this area over the last decade has played in ENYTB. The proof is in the pudding!Congratulations to the record number of ENYTB Championship teams in 2010!!!NOTE: If your ENYTB team has advanced in a sanctioned national championship tournament series and is not listed above please send me the info and I will post it.
