Sylvania players form new 50's Traveling Team!
The Eagles played in 3 tournaments this year. Dayton First Flight, Barberton Buckeye Classic and the Sylvania Great Lakes National. Although the newly formed team struggled on the field they never gave up and fought hard in every game.
They had many spectacular moments during the season including some highlight catches by the outfielders some awesome plays by the infield and some great pitching to help keep them in the game.
They didn't forget to bring their bats either as they let teams know they came to hit. All in all they had what would be considered a successful year and a team building bond they can be proud of.
