UPDATES:  7/8:  The 9/10's great run ended in Covington on Tuesday night, thanks to the red-hot pitching of Covington's #45.  The 11-0 loss closes the season for the 9/10's, who played some awesome baseball over this 5 game stretch, going 4-1.  Great work and thanks to the boys and Coaches Furrow and Gregory.

 The 10/11's lost a close battle with CS American 10-8 in which they rallied from an early 5-run deficit to make it close to the end.  The 10/11's have off this evening and will play Thursday at Covington.  Best of luck team!

7/7:  The 9-10's team pushed its record to 4-0 with another win, this one at Blacksburg, 18-8.  With that win, the team plays tonight at undefeated Covington for the District 12 title.  Best of luck boys!

The 10-11's team lost a hard fought game to Covington on Monday night, 12-5.  The game was close at 7 to 5 going into the 6th inning.  Keep up the hard work guys, and best of luck against the CS American team tonight at 6 p.m. at Starkey 1.

Mother Nature cooperated beautifully and the 2009 CSNLL Fun Fest & Major League Tournament was a great success.  Thanks also to Monkey Fuzz for the music and to all the volunteers who made the season finale possible.  

In the Major League tournament, nearly all the games were decided by 1 run, and the final game between the Braves and Roanokers went an extra inning. Fantastic Baseball !!!  

Congratulations to the Major League Roanokers for winning the regular season and the tournament!!

Congrats also to the Braves for finishing 2nd in the tournament and the Reds for finishing 2nd in the regular season.

In Minor League, the Dodgers led the season with the Roanokers coming in second.

In Machine Pitch, the Rockies edged the Cubs for first place.  In Tee-Ball the race was neck-and-neck with the Pirates edging the Tigers.  

Thanks to all players that participated in the season and competed in Sunday's events.
