The boys of Blue Anchor

The West U Blue Anchor Baseball team finished the season with 31 wins, 3 perfect game championships, first place in First Colony Fall League with a 10-2 overall record, and Westbury Surf and Turf tournament runner-up. The team started the first fall kid pitch season with a championship appearance, falling short after an 8-0 comeback in the last inning. In addition to competitive tournaments, the team plans to participate in the Baseball USA fall league. The team considers itself more than a baseball team – more like a family – celebrating teammates’ birthdays, loss of teeth, holidays, and coping with rough times, such as surgeries, together. With most Little Leagues only playing 3-4 months of the year, their goal is to mimic a Little League family environment, while competing at a select level.

Coaches are Rob Whitman, Zach Dailey, Ted Walker, and Anthony Croley.
