Scrappers are Rookie Division Champions for Manatee Cal Ripken

The Scrappers earned the title Rookie Division Champions this past weekend.  The Scrappers took on the Timber Rattlers on Saturday, December 7th and won 8-3. The twelve 7 & 8 year olds, went 3-0 in post season play.  Manatee Cal Ripken wrapped up their fall season on “Championship Saturday” with their Championship games for the Rookie and Minor Divisions, a Home Run Derby and an All Star Scrimmage. 

“I am so proud of these boys,” said Manager Lee Heintz.  “It has been a joy to coach these kids and be around the families.  This coaching staff and ‘ScrapperNation’ were the force behind our success.  Our boys worked hard all season and today it paid off!”
