TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WCTV) – If there\u2019s one thing the summer months teach us, it\u2019s that Tallahassee is really good at youth baseball, and this summer is no different. One year after both the 13\u2019s and the 14\u2019s both won Babe Ruth Series titles, both teams are playing for another one.<\/p>\n
That means this year\u2019s group of 14U All-Stars are looking to go back-to-back. Close to ten of the guys on this year\u2019s 14\u2019s squad were on that 13\u2019s team that won it last year, and that\u2019s a feeling that doesn\u2019t go away.<\/p>\n
That experience should make all the difference this year. The guys kick off the World Series Saturday in Eagle Pass, Texas. They\u2019ve been challenged and they have that big stage experience, and head coach Bruce Williams likes where they\u2019re at heading in to this weekend.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe got good pitching, defense, our hitting is pretty thorough,\u201d he said. \u201cI think we\u2019ll step up a little bit more in the hitting category. That\u2019s probably where we need to focus a little bit, but our pitching is really good heading into the tournament.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have good pitching, good defense, and we can hit,\u201d added Parker Pennington, who plays for the team. \u201cWe have a ton of confidence going there and we are going to try and win it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Pool play begins Saturday for the boys from Tallahassee. Game one is set for 9:00 in the morning against Australia.<\/p>\n
