The 11U Beaufort Riptide Baseball Team is preparing for the USSSA Global World Series in Myrtle Beach next month and is seeking sponsors and donations to help defray the costs associated with this event. The tournament is July 9-13.

The team started three years ago as a machine pitch travel team for 8 year olds. Since that time, they have stayed together and developed into a competitive AAA Division team.  Recently, they competed in the Father’s Day Fury Tournament and brought back the first place trophy for the second year in a row. Anyone interested in assisting these boys with their goal of competing in the Global World Series should contact Riptide at 843-522-9018 or email teresabaker@embarqmail.com.
