CANES CAROLINA OFF TO MYRTLE BEACH FOR RIPKEN BASEBALL FALL KICKOFF

CHARLOTTE (N.C.) — They’re going to a beach town, but it’s a business trip for Canes Carolina.

The Canes will be participating in the Fall Kickoff at The Ripken Experience Myrtle Beach, joining a dozen other 12U baseball teams from North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia.

The Canes open play with 5 Star Savannah (Ga.) Black tomorrow at 8:30 a.m., then face the SC Jets (West Columbia, SC) at 10:45 a.m. Both games will be played on the Huntington Park field, a youth baseball tribute to the former home of the Boston Red Sox. The Sox called Huntington home from 1901-1912 and hosted the first-ever World Series and was the site of Major League Baseball’s first perfect game, thrown by the immortal Cy Young.
