RBSA – Welcome Home – Celebration for U-14 – Monday, August 24th
The RBSA will hold a victory celebration for the U14 Ridgewood Junior League All Star team, winners of the Junior Little League East Region Championship. The team is competing the week of August 16-23 in the Junior League Baseball World Series in Taylor, Michigan. There will be a welcome home celebration taking place on Monday, August 24 between 2-4pm at Van Neste Park in the Village of Ridgewood. The team will have a police escort down East Ridgewood Avenue to the park, where they will be greeted by Mayor Paul Aronsohn, the Town Council and town residents to commemorate their accomplishments.
There will be food and music. Please come out to line the streets in celebration as we welcome home our U14 East Region champions
Ridgewood’s team, representing the eastern U.S., is now 0-2 in the tournament, having lost 9-7 to U.S. West on Sunday and 10-5 to U.S. Central tonight. In both games they mounted a comeback late but couldn’t get a lead. The best record they can achieve now is 2-2, which is unlikely to get them 1st or 2nd place and a chance to play the international champ. So, a world series win by Ridgewood may not be in the cards this time…
