When asked about his mindset and approach to the World Series, All-Star Patrick Sosar said, “You’re going to play baseball like you always have. Do your best and see what happens next.”

Another All-Star, Jase Matthews, added “I mean, it’s cool. We haven’t ever done that before, so it’s once-in-a-lifetime, maybe.”

This is the first time Central York has advanced to this level, as 25 teams from all over the world will compete in Indiana. This tournament is hosted by the Cal Ripken League, not to be confused with the Little League World Series for older kids in Williamsport.
