Bastrop little league shines at sectional tournament

Youth teams push closer to PONY World Series target

BASTROP — Bastrop’s youth baseball teams swept through a record-breaking home tournament last weekend, with every division advancing to regional play.

The Bastrop Youth Baseball and Softball Organization recently hosted the PONY South Zone South Region Austin Sectional Tournament, the largest baseball event in the organization’s history, drawing 48 allstar teams from across Central Texas. The 6U, 8U, 10U and 12U all-star teams each qualified for the regional tournament, continuing their pursuit of a berth in the PONY World Series.

The 10U All-Stars were tournament runners-up in their division.

Organization officials credited volunteers, coaches, players and families for the event’s success, with volunteers spending the weekend preparing fields, operating concessions and assisting with tournament operations.

The regional tournament is scheduled for next weekend in Pflugerville.
