Gaffney Youth Baseball 11 and 12-year-olds won the state championship July 12 and will play in regional finals July 26 in Lakeland, Fla.
Eleven-year-old Eddie Green needs only one word to describe the Blacksburg Youth Baseball game against Gaffney.
“Awesome,” said Eddie, in spite of the loss July 12 in Aiken when Gaffney took the state title in the 11 and 12-year-old age group.
We wanted to win really bad. We’ve never made it that far before,” the right fielder explained. His grandmother Melissa Green, also of Blacksburg, said the state playoff games were exciting. “And it’s great that two Cherokee County teams finished first and second in the state,” she said.Blacksburg’s elimination came after the team’s return in the loser’s bracket following a shutout.
