My Nephew, Derrick

Hey guys, I have some exciting news and I had to share! My nephew, Derrick, is currently playing in the USSSA World Series in Bentonville, Arkansas. I am posting a link to the USSSA website which shows the stats for this week long tournament. Right now they are the only team undefeated with 5 wins and no losses. The name of their team is Amarillo Crossfire and my nephews name is Derrick Valenzuela for those of you who may want to look up his stats. Jason and I are really, really very proud of him and he deserves some recognition. I am also posting some links to some articles written up in the Amarillo Globe News as well. Please keep Derrick, his teammates, and his family in your prayers for continued success, safety and a safe trip home!
