Ahwatukee Foothills PONY Baseball Association: Welcome
Ahwatukee PONY Baseball wins two State Championships
The Ahwatukee Foothills PONY Baseball League
won State Championships in both the Shetland Division (ages 4-6) and the
Pinto Kid Pitch Division (ages 7-8) this past weekend at the Akimel Middle
School baseball fields.
The Shetland All Star team, coached by Ron Ensley, went 4-0 by outscoring their opponents 60-17. Coach Ensley commented "The team had great offensive and defensive balance with major contributions from every player on the team." This is the first State title for the Shetland division in its three year existence.
The Ahwatukee Devils team also won their first State PONY title. During the season the Devils went 15-1 in the PONY Kid Pitch division and are 48-3-1 in 2013. This championship adds to their prior 2012 USSSA Fall League and USSSA 2013 Super Bowl Bash tournament titles. Devil's Coach Scott Westley noted the strength and depth of the pitching staff and timely hitting was the key to their success. The Devils will advance to San Jose, California from July 18-21 to play in the PONY Kid Pitch World Series.
