Wm. S. Hart Baseball & Softball

What a summer for Hart 9U!

This group put together a run that won’t be forgotten, finishing 3rd out of 16 teams at the Super Regionals in Camarillo—the furthest any Hart 9U team has advanced in over 20 years.

After dropping the first game of the tournament, these boys had their backs against the wall and responded the only way they knew how—by competing. They battled through five straight win-or-go-home games before coming up just one win short of advancing.

The scoreboard won’t tell the whole story. This team showed resilience, toughness, and heart every step of the way. They represented Hart Baseball with pride and gave everything they had until the final out.

What a summer. What a group of players, coaches, and families. Way to go Hart 9U!!
