The Stewards of the Game 10 and under All Stars were strong competitors in the Cal Ripken area tournament held in Marshville, NC on July 3^rd through July 5^th.  This team of outstanding young ballplayers worked very hard in preparation for the tournament and displayed skills not commonly seen at this level of play.  The team finished play with a record of two wins and two losses in the double elimination format.  The highlight of the competition for this team was defeating last years 9-year old State Champions from Anson County (10-year olds this year) by a score of 3-2 in the teams’ first game of the tournament.  The Anson team went on to be State Champs again this year, but not without two tough games against the Stewards of the Game 10-year olds.  Anson came back to beat our team 6-3 in a “winner advances” game as both teams had one defeat at the time. 

Prior to the official Cal Ripken Tournament, this team participated in a regional tournament in Marion, NC with other Cal Ripken affiliated All Star teams and finished the weekend with a 4-0 record, winning by a combined score of 72-6.  

Throughout the All Star season this team made a supreme effort to become the best players and the best team they could be and in doing so represented Stewards of the Game, their families, and themselves with great distinction.
