USSSA Weekend Roundup! Print E-mail

Here are the results of the USSSA Fall Classic played this past weekend in sunny and hot Phoenix, AZ!

10U Majors

In the 10U division the Az Dash who were sporting their pink shirts on Saturday finished the weekend with a 3-0 mark and their first Majors title!  I never got the chance to ask but I am guessing that the pink was in support of breast cancer, what an amazing gesture! The Dash beat up on the Anthem Firebirds by a score of 13-5 in the finals.  The Firebird took care of the Dirtbags in the Semi by a score of 13-5 to set up the matchup in the Championship.

10U AAA
