Leave a comment

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.

The complete field for the tournament includes the following squads:

Leave a comment

CHARLOTTE (N.C.) — Canes Carolina’s 12U Fall schedule features five tournaments over nine weeks, including Charlotte’s largest autumn tourney and the team’s first trip to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

Play begins August 26 for the Canes in the USSSA Carolina Fall Brawl. It continues every other weekend, concluding with the premier fall travel baseball showcase in Charlotte, the USSSA Queen City Select Super NIT (October 20-22).

The Canes head to Myrtle Beach for the first time to compete in the Ripken Experience’s Fall Kickoff (October 7-8), marking the squad’s lone tourney beyond the borders of the Old North State this upcoming season.

Canes Carolina looks to build on a winning spring season that saw the team win four of its final five games and advance to the championship round in its last two USSSA tournaments.
