Peachtree Team’s World Series Dream | Charlottesville News

Peachtree’s eleven-and-under all-stars are headed to the Cal Ripken World Series after an improbable comeback from a crushing regional loss—thanks to an at-large bid. With a perfect 24-0 season and a state title already under their belt, this team’s dream just got bigger, but at a steep price: $3,500 to $4,000 per family for a double-length trip. They’re rallying the community, already raising $8,500—with donations from $10 to $1,000—and even getting support from UVA’s Chris Pollard, Ryan Zimmerman, Brandon Guyer, and former coach Brian OConnor. This is the third team from their league to reach the World Series, and they’re joined by their ten-year-old teammates. With years of bonding and skill-building behind them, these young stars are determined to make the most of this second-chance championship run.
