14U USA Team Announcement

After a three-day showcase at Major League Baseball's Urban Youth Academy over Labor Day weekend, the CCYB-USA team completed its three games in top fashion.

Highlights of the game included a hustle play by starting short stop Christopher Rivera who tried to stop a ball hit sharply up the middle.

There were six West Coast teams consisting of 108 players who participated in the USA National Identification Series held at MLB's Urban Youth Academy in Compton, CA.

The teams gathered in the outfield to await USA's announcements.
