Fairfax Babe Ruth All Star Team Wins District Title

The Northern Fairfax County (NFC) 14YO All Star team won the Babe Ruth District 13 title game in extra innings on Monday night at Langley High School.  The win was a repeat victory as District champs; the NFC squad of 13YO players won the District title last year.

The NFC team defeated Arlington 4-3 in a tightly contested game that required eight innings to complete.   NFC and Arlington also matched up earlier in the double-elimination tournament for a game which lasted 10 innings across two days of play and ended with NFC winning 6-4.

 District 13 comprises 8 individual Babe Ruth leagues covering all of Fairfax County.  The NFC team, along with the Arlington and Vienna All Star teams, will represent District 13 in the Virginia State Tournament starting Thursday July 18.  NFC Babe Ruth will be hosting the State Tournament at Stratton Woods Park in Reston.

The NFC Babe Ruth league draws players from Herndon, Reston, and Chantilly.  The league offers players aged 13 to 18 an opportunity to play community-based baseball according to their skill level.
