CYOJ HitLab had a busy weekend, and we’re proud of every player who stepped on the field! ⚾🥎

🫡 Coach Klamath and the Softball Sluggers battled their way to a 2nd-place finish—great work!

🔥 CYOJ HitLab 14U – Searle put together a strong weekend with two wins and a ton of runs. Our Lab hitters were rolling, especially Logan Goodpaster, who was absolutely on fire.

💪 CYOJ HitLab 9-10U fought hard and came away with a big W, led by standout performances from Nixon Drake and Hudson DuPont.

This is what CYOJ is all about—competing, supporting one another, and creating opportunities for our athletes to grow on and off the field.

We’re just getting started. 🧪🔥

We’re about so much more than baseball and softball. Through CYOJ HitLab and the Create Your Own Journey Foundation, we’re building a community where kids and families create lifelong friendships and memories.

It’s a grind, but we’re proud of what we’re building and we’re here for the long haul. Our mission is simple: empower our youth to create their own journey while supporting the families who make this community special.

Thank you to everyone who believes in and supports us. We’ll continue to give that support right back. And a special thank you to the Robb family for showing what this is all about—because this is bigger than the game. ❤️⚾🥎

Watching one of our CYOJ HitLab hitters compete as a TRUE freshman in the 6A playoffs is something special. Moments like this are priceless.

Tonight, Pacey helped lead her team to a huge 4-2 victory over Tualatin and when she stepped up and absolutely JACKED a bomb, the whole squad was celebrating like family. That’s what it’s all about — hard work, confidence, and showing up on the biggest stage.

And the scary part? We get THREE more years of this before she heads off to the collegiate level. The future is bright. 💣🔥

Congratulations Pacey! Proud of you and the work you continue to put in. Looking forward to getting that HR ball in the Lab 🧪⚾️
