Thank you to all of our players, coaches, and parents who helped to make the 2011 DYBSA Fall Baseball & Softball Season a great experience for everyone.
We hope to see everyone on the field in the spring! Online Registration for the 2012 Spring Baseball and Softball Season is now open until February 5, 2012. After then, there is a $25 late fee if space is available.
If you are interested in helping coaching a team, please click on the "coaching request" link on the left and put a form in as teams are forming for the Spring. Experience is not an issue as we are lucky to have the Duluth High School baseball coaching staff put on a coach's clinic to help with all coaches at all levels. Don't miss out on an opportunity to help if interested.
CONGRATULATIONS WILDCATS!!
Perrucci a champ!
Jeanie Perrucci plays for the '94 Duluth (Ga.) Wildcats and is hoping to help her teammates become national champions, too. In 2009, she was the 13-14 girls' age-division winner in Major League Baseball's Pitch, Hit & Run national finals at St. Louis.
Perrucci, a junior at Duluth High School, is off to a 2-0 pitching record in the tournament. She's thrown 8 2/3 innings and allowed five hits, one walk and no earned runs while striking out 16.
"I think it's taken a lot of pressure off me after competing in a stadium where MLB games are played," Perrucci said. "I've gained a lot of confidence in myself."
At the PH&R Super Regionals, Perrucci set a record for her age group by running from second base to home in 5.6 seconds on 60-foot bases. She set another record on Busch Stadium's 90-foot bases, running second to home in 7.4 seconds.
"Once I was there I wasn't worried about the competition," Perrucci said. "The prize was just being there. I knew I would never be able to experience anything like that again."
