Submitted from Prince William County Neabsco District Supervisor John Jenkins:
This past weekend the Brentsville baseball team won the regional baseball playoffs at Stafford . I traveled to the games in Stafford with my wife and was thrilled to see the PWC team win it’s championship. The team will travel to NORFOLK in a week or so for another championship tournament. I am enclosing a press release sent to me by the team manager (who is also my grandson). Can you arrange some press coverage?
Here’s a portion of his press release:
Lead by the pitching staff of Kyle Turner, Jonathan Jenkins, Michael Gregory, and Joseph Wood the Brentsville District Youth Baseball (BDYB) 13-15 year old team won the 2016 Virginia Babe Ruth District 8 tournament. Brentsville defeated the Greater Manassas Baseball League 11-6 in the championship game
Sunday Night July 3, 2016. After losing their first game of the tournament to Greater Manassas, Brentsville rallied to beat Stafford
in the loser’s bracket game, and then went on to beat Greater Manassas twice on Sunday to claim the championship. Brentsville defeated Greater Manassas 19-6 in the first game Sunday to earn the right to play them again in the championship game.
Shortstop John Hall and Center Fielder Kevin Mendel were named the defensive players of the tournament by their Manager Jeremy Jenkins. Mendel caught the final out on a pop-fly to secure the championship.
This marks the first time a BDYB tournament team of any age group has won a district championship and advanced to the Virginia State Tournament. Brentsville will take on Greene County from District 5 on July 14 th in their first ever state tournament game.
