Hey there Merrimac Families and friends of the Mavericks!
A bittersweet finish for our hometown boys but man, did they fight to the end!!! Finishing in the top 16 out of 60 teams is a huge accomplishment and an experience they will carry with them for a lifetime!!
To the players....hold your heads high....what you boys did this week was nothing short of inspiring. You cheered each other on and picked each other up. You showed up each day looking sharp and ready to play. Win together....lose together....teammates....and friends for life.
To the coaches....what a run....and not just in Cooperstown. You have mentored, guided, encouraged and taught these boys so much over the past few years....the skills they've learned, both on and off the field, are invaluable. We hope you realize the impact you've had. Oh....and the week you've just spent in a tiny bunkhouse with 11 rambunctious boys entitles you to some kind of major reward 🤪
To the parents and families of the Mavericks...those who were able to make the trip and those who cheered them on from home....these victories are also yours...these 11 boys made it this far in baseball, and in life, because of you. You've been there every step of the way, from attending home/away games, tournaments near and far, donning Mavs t-shirts and hats and cheering for every player as if they were your own. We've become a family...and it's been an amazing experience.
And finally...to our wonderful Merrimac community....it's no secret that we wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you. You raised and donated money, left encouraging comments on our posts and cheered the boys on from home. One of the many incredible things these boys will take away from this trip is how much love they felt from our little town. We are eternally grateful. 01860 forever!!!
Take it all in boys....Mavericks for life!!!
Go Mavs ⚾⚾
