LPPLL Making History: How to Help

Land Park Pacific Little League is making history and you can be a part of it. Twelve kids who played against each other during the regular season are gelling as one dominant team in their march to the World Series in Williamsport, PA.

First, they held off a formidable East Sac team to win the District 7 banner. Then they marched straight through the competition, 10-0, 13-0, and 3-0, in Rancho Cordova to take home the Section 4 banner.  And this past week, they traveled to Madera where they blew out McKinleyville 15-0, took down Northgate 13-2 the next morning, held off San Mateo American 7-6, then earned the NorCal State Tournament banner by taking down Napa American. 

With that historical victory, they are now on their way to San Bernardino to face the Hawaii team Sunday, August 4, at 3:00 pm on ESPN+ in the West Region Tournament. And so, the journey continues.

This team’s epic journey comes at a cost to each family of the team. Hotel rooms in Madera were $200 per night, and with a drive of over 2 hours each way, they were necessary.  The drive down to San Bernardino is over 6 hours, or a $500 round trip flight, with hotel rooms at $200 a night.  Your contribution to this team will help offset the over $2,000 in costs for travel and hotel rooms of each family for this tournament alone. Please support our march to Williamsport.  LPPLL is a 501(c)(3) non-profit and your donations can be tax deductible.

Support Summer Excellence: LPP All-Stars Hit the Road

It has been a looooong time since a 10-11-12 All-Star team from Land Park or Pacific Little League has made it past the Section 4 Tournament.  So, it is with great excitement and anticipation that we announce that our LPP 12U team has emerged as Section 4 Champions and is now headed to the NorCal State Tournament in Madera, CA! If you follow us on Facebook, you’ve likely seen this news already, and we plan to continue posting updates there.

This terrific team of All-Stars won by capturing the District 7 Championship over their perennial rivals, East Sac Little League, then shutting out the competition, 10-0, 13-0 and 3-0 in the Section 4 Tournament. This is a remarkable achievement, and we couldn’t be prouder of our players. 

The Opening Ceremonies for the NorCal State Tournament are at 9:00 AM on Saturday morning, then our boys go to work at 10:30am on Field 1. We believe they are 4 wins away from going to the West Regions in San Bernardino.  Little League International helps support the teams with food and housing when they play in the West Regions, but they do not offer any support for the families to drive 2.5 hours and stay in hotels in Madera/Fresno for this tournament. If we perform to our abilities, this tournament will last through Friday of next week. This will pose a significant financial burden to each All-Star family – more than $300 per day.

It has been 51 years since Pacific Little League made their run to the Little League World Series in Williamsport. So, to help offset the costs our thriving All-Star team will incur, we have set a fundraising goal of $10,000 and are asking our amazing LPP community to support their excellence with contributions of $51 (or any amount you can – every dollar helps).  Please donate via Venmo @LPPLL or PayPal. If you’d like an alternative way to donate, please email us at info@lppll.com.

We also want to offer up a big shoutout to those who have supported all of our baseball and softball All-Star teams this summer, including:

• Realtor Jamie Rich – our snack shack sponsor – donated treats to all of our All-Stars after each game

• Halls Windows funded yard signs for our All-Stars’ homes

Every contribution, no matter the size, makes a huge difference in helping our teams succeed, and we’d love nothing more than for you to consider helping our 12s on the road to more wins!

Thank you for your support and let’s go LPP!
