The Methuen Cal Ripken 9 year-old District team won the District 2 American League championship for the second year in a row. With Methuen going undefeated in District play, Coach TJ Abernathy likes the Methuen team's chances. Two of the players were 8 year olds playing on the 9 year old squad last year. The experience helped them in District play and they are looking forward to the great experience that Cal Ripken provides at the State level.
Methuen moved to Cal Ripken three years ago to remove the boundaries and restrictions imposed by Little League. Cal Ripken League is the youth division of Babe Ruth Baseball. After a good learning experiencein its first year as part of the new league, Methuen has placed teams into State Level play for its second straight year. |
