DC Force Competes at Baseball for All Nationals
Congratulations to the four DC Force teams that competed at the 2024 Baseball for All Nationals in Elizabethtown, Kentucky for our 8th year at the event.
We are proud that two DC Force teams (10U and 12U) earned the Shirley “Hustle” Burkovich Award for their outstanding sportsmanship and love of the game. DCGB celebrates our players, coaches, and community for continuing to embody our values on and off the field.
10U secured the championship title in the minors division! The team showed energy and determination, with players stepping up as leaders on the field, outstanding pitching, great hits across the roster, and new friendships.
12U showcased remarkable growth, moving up for the first time to a competitive 50/70 division, progressing consistently throughout the tournament, and culminating in a final win where they performed like seasoned veterans.
14U battled fiercely in the Majors bracket with red-hot bats from every single player at crucial moments throughout the tournament. Players showed composure and resilience in the field, not letting their adrenaline and excitement impact their focus in the midst of the excellent baseball played.
16U highlights included a combined no-hitter and a complete game victory two days in a row. The team earned second place in the minors division, in a heartbreakingly close 9-10 championship game characterized by six lead changes, determination and sportsmanship throughout.
By far the best part of the week was the smiles and friendships created and further solidified during our teams’ time together at Nationals. Our thanks to the coaches, players, volunteers, and parents who made it all possible!
GO DC FORCE!
