MEET OUR 12U RED COUGARS. They've worked hard over the last few years to become pretty darn good at this thing we call baseball. We are a bit biased, but we also think they're pretty great kids off the field as well – carrying the same integrity they bring to the diamond into their homes & classrooms. After training hard all winter, they've just started their final season on a little league field.

In late June, as they kick off their summer break, they'll head to the Ripken Baseball Experience in Aberdeen, Maryland – a competitive, national, multi-day tournament (June 26-29). This is the first time our town league, SOM Baseball, is sending a group of South Orange/Maplewood players to an out-of-state tournament to represent our community. They may win some, they may lose some, but this group is guaranteed to have the time of their lives.

If you'd like to help us send these hard-working boys to this capstone experience, you can donate here. All donations run through the SOM Baseball Boosters, the 501(c)(3) charitable organization funding the boys’ tournament, along with our local sponsors, Seton Hall University & BGR Burger in South Orange.

Thank you all on behalf of Leo, Charlie, Sam G., Pazel, Theo, Sam R., Winston, Ben, Jackson, Marcus & Sam I.
