Fresh off a very successful summer season, the focus of the Victorian baseball world now shifts to the juniors and their premier tournament: the Little League State Championships.
The first pitch of the annual extravaganza takes place at 10 a.m. on Friday 1 April and concludes with the Grand Final at 2.15 on Sunday afternoon.
In between there will be 18 teams competing—ranging from the minors, development shield, girls and all-stars—in 52 games on eight different diamonds over the three days. And there will be a home run derby!
All games will be contested at the Waverley Softball Association in Jells Park.
The top three teams will move on to compete in the 2016 Australian Little League Championships in New South Wales in mid-June.
