DC Force at the 2024 DMV Series

Congratulations to the DC Force teams that represented DCGB at our very own DMV Series!

10U had a blast as friends old and new came together to play ball. Bravery and resilience were on display with many players pitching, catching, and playing new positions for the first time. 10U’s bats were on fire with their most hits this season and multiple 2-out rallies throughout the weekend. Their cheers from the dugout were top-notch and the squad finished their run with smiles, laughter, hugs, and donuts!

12U, although it did not show in the win column, continued to demonstrate that their focused work this year on their hitting is paying real dividends, with the group having more walks than strikeouts and putting balls in play in nearly 55% of their at bats. Strong performances on the mound and behind the plate continue to showcase the team's depth and versatility on the field, and their time away from the field highlighted the depth of friendship, care, and passion they have as teammates.

14U showed us once again that they have grit and determination like no other. Outfitted with their new baseball bows, they started out the weekend with two strong victories under their belts as they went into Sunday as the top seed. Sunday’s battle was hard fought coming down to the bottom of the 7th, trying for a come from behind victory but ended up falling short in a loss to the Chesapeake Blue Crabs, 4-3. While disappointed at the loss, the incredible pitching paired with some ESPN-worthy plays, topped by the incredible energy throughout the weekend made for some of the most memorable moments in DC Force history.

16U came together as DCGB OGs and showed their love for the game and each other all weekend. Despite some tough losses and setbacks, 16U got up each time with more and more vigor to compete. With outstanding pitching and defensive prowess, facing the 16U DC Force was no easy feat.

GO FORCE!

We’re so proud of you.
