Competing in a pool of over 100 contestants, Wes Graves hit four balls out of the park of the ten swings allowed to claim the USSSA Global World Series Home Run Derby Championship in Myrtle Beach, SC on July 9th, 2014. Wes is the son of Bobby and Diana Graves and plays for the Beaufort Riptide 11U AAA team. Donations for the Riptide to participate at the Global World Series tournament were generously made by Hargray, Easy Rentals and numerous community members and businesses.
