The U/14 NSW Baseball Team depart for Perth from Sydney Airport tomorrow morning at 4.30am. Early start! The boys have trained three and four times a week under Coach Harradine who has done a tremendous job. The tournament starts on Saturday afternoon in what should be hot and testing conditions.
James McCallum is again Number 23 and like every family, our family have the supporter's shirts sporting his number.
The boys will have plenty of support. A squad of sixteen travel with nine obviously in the line up. The coaching staff have made it clear that many boys will spend a lot of time on the bench. Hitting the ball well is your ticket into the side - and then hitting well in the tournament is your ticket to stay.
James will pitch and play left field and first base. He is very excited to be representing the state and he is hoping to achieve strongly and lead the team to victory.
A picture is included here of a few of the boys just prior to departure from Sydney Airport on Friday morning.
James and Liam caught up on Thursday and a picture is included. Proud brothers.
Good luck James. We will be following your wins from over here on the east coast USA. Can't wait to see the victory pics!
