We are proud of these players, they represented our league and community well. Thank you 11s for your efforts and Thank You Coaches for your leadership.


	1st Game: The Troopers lost to the Garfield LL by a score of 3 to 2. A tight game that could have gone either way.
	2nd Game: The Troopers beat Garfield LL by a score of 11 to 0. The 11s are alive and well in the Sectionals.
	*3rd Game: Our Troopers played an extra inning game with Livingston American. The game lasted 9 innings. The Troopers lost 10 to 9 but battled every single inning against a good opponent.*
