Arrowhead Little League in Glendale Arizona: 9-10 All-Stars
Thursday, July 30Arrowhead 9-10 All Stars Fall Short of State Title Losing to Rio Rico 7-2
The Arrowhead 9-10 All-Star team found themselves in unusual territory Thursday night as they fell behind after two innings after starting out strong in the first. They never regained their momentum which allowed the Rio Rico All-Stars to add to their lead throughout the game. Hats off to the Rio Rico team who hit the ball well and made the plays they needed to make.
Congratulations to the Arrowhead 9-10 All-Star team for an outstanding post season in which you went 13-1 (6-0 in District, 7-1 in State).
A HUGE THANKS to the coaches: Tony Burgarello, Rick Sharp, Dennis Sullivan, and all the parents and everyone else for their support!
