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!
