Tallahassee Leon Babe Ruth Advances to World Series

On July 19th, the Tallahassee Leon Babe Ruth (TLBR) 14U baseball team beat Greenville, North Carolina in the final Southeast Regional game with a score of 10-2 in Tallahassee at the Lincoln high school baseball field. With this win, TLBR went undefeated in the regional tournament finishing with a record of 6-0 and advancing to the 14U Babe Ruth World Series on Aug. 7 in Hot Springs, Arkansas.

After early in the final game of the Southeast Regional down 2-0 to Greenville, the Tallahassee Leon Babe Ruth 14U baseball team took charge in the third inning scoring three runs to take the lead with a score of 3-2 heading into the fourth inning. TLBR kept their foot on the pedal as they scored seven runs in the sixth inning and beat Greenville with a final of 10-2.

Just before the final game of the Southeast Regional, Tallahassee Babe Ruth held a moment of silence for the recent passing of the current president of Babe Ruth Tallahassee, Brent Sims. In addition to being the president of Babe Ruth Tallahassee, Sims also contributed to the local baseball scene in Tallahassee by being an umpire, league administrator and tournament director. Sims has made a lasting impression on many young athletes in the Tallahassee area and will be missed by many.
