Ashley Proteau, who just wrapped up her season with the CWLL Blue Jays softball team, came in first in the regional final of Major League Baseball's Pitch, Hit and Run skills competition, held at Fenway Park on Saturday, June 23rd. Competing in the 7/8 Girls Division, Proteau beat out two other finalists representing the entire New England region. Her score ranked 7th in the nation when compared to the winners from regional competitions held at all 30 Major League ball parks. 

Clyde Whittemore Little League has been named as the host for the Vermont District IV West Pool of the Little League Baseball tournament. This is one of many opening acts in the worldwide tournament that will culminate with the Little League World Series in August.

The competition will consist of five age 11-12 teams - defending state champions Barre, Central Valley, Mad River, Montpelier, and of course, Clyde Whittemore. The exact schedule and format of play will be finalized soon, but games will get underway at Hope Davey Park on the weekend of June 29-30 with action continuing all week and ending the weekend of July 7-8. Two or three of the five teams will advance to the District IV Finals in Barre the following week. 

Please check back for all of the details and make plans to support our youngsters as they experience the thrill of participating in this great event. 

For the second year in a row, a Clyde Whittemore Little League player has qualified for the regional finals of Major League Baseball's Pitch, Hit & Run competition. Ashley Proteau will compete on the field at Fenway Park prior to the June 23 Red Sox game for a chance to advance to the national finals.

Proteau qualified through the local event hosted by CWLL on May 6 to advance to the sectionals held in Newport, VT on May 19. Her total score of 704 was among the top three in the Age 7/8 Girls division  out of all the sectional qualifiers held in New England.

With a strong showing at Fenway, Ashley could advance to the national finals at Major League Baseball's All-Star game on July 10 in Kansas City.  She follows in the footsteps of her Blue Jays teammate Sophia Buonomo, who reached the regional finals in the Age 9/10 Girls division a year ago. 

 Good luck, Ashley!!!
