Earlier this month, the Poway Little League city baseball championships returned to the field after a three-year hiatus.
Yankees head coach and Vice President of the Human Services Group with Rancho Mesa Sam Brown led the Poway American Little League’s Majors team to the incredible win.
Twelve-year old Yankee’s pitcher Tristan Wolfe threw a perfect game with no runners reaching first base.
“The Yankees recorded nine hits, got six walks and took advantage of five errors by the Braves, who opened the regular season losing their first seven games before fighting their way into the finals,” Terry Monahan recounts the game in a San Diego Union Tribune article.
Evoking the mercy rule, the game was halted after five innings, leaving the 10-0 victory to the Yankees.
“I'm so proud of our players' hard work and strong camaraderie,” Coach Brown said. “Their improvement on the field and in the dugout still astonishes me. A team can achieve really great things when individuals support one another and work hard. Great life lessons learned on the field!"
Rancho Mesa is proud of Sam Brown’s volunteerism within the community and fortunate to have him on its leadership team.
