The Jays soar

The West U Jays capped a standout baseball season with a 25-3-1 record. The roster, made up entirely of boys from West University Little League, has practiced and competed together for the past year and a half, though most of the players have known each other since they were 6 years old. The Jays went 9-0 in Perfect Game tournament play this season, winning both tournaments they entered. Their performance earned the team a midseason promotion from AA to AAA within the Perfect Game rankings.
