     We would like to tip our caps to the State Baseball Committee for their effort and assistance throughout the season especially with the region and state tournaments. Likewise, our appreciation goes out to those individuals who make the baseball facilities at Arundel HS, McCurdy Field, Joe Cannon Stadium, and Shipley Field at the University of Maryland available to us.  A special thank you to the folks at Ripken Stadium for their cooperation and assistance in making our State Finals the special experience that it is.

     We also need to thank all of the coaches, officials and spectators for the support you give to our tournament.  In addition, we would like to extend our congratulations to each and every participant.  Keep honing those skills and remember that only perfect practice makes perfect!
