The tournament in Ballparks of America in Branson will include 20 teams from around the country and eight international teams. BAYB will represent all of New England.
The tournament begins on 8/3, so there’s not much time for them to get the funds they need and make travel arrangements.
Wish them luck! They’re from two small towns in Massachsuetts going up against some big guys from around the world.
