A big Storm of Babe Ruth League district-tournament baseball championship teams hit Arlington over recent days.
In all, five Arlington Storm squads at different age levels of the District 7 tournaments. The age-level winners were the 8s, 9s, 10s, 11s and 12s.
For many years, Arlington Storm teams have won multiple district tourneys in the same season, but five in one summer is likely the most ever.
In those five tournaments, Storm teams dominated against weaker competition, not losing a game and combining for a 12-0 record. Those five teams outscored their opponents 148-62 with two shutouts in a dozen contests.
That’s impressive.
By virtue of winning the district, all five Storm teams advanced to the state Babe Ruth tournaments. Two of those already have won state crowns.
See information on all of those teams on upcoming Website posts.
