A trio of local players helped Washington’s FCA (Fellowship of Christian Athletes) 14-U Baseball team earn a 10-0 victory over Georgia today at the Sandy Koufax World Series in Vero Beach, Fla.
The Bothell-based team will next play the winner of the Ohio/New York game in the second-round winner’s bracket on Thursday.
Bothell High’s Chandler Williams gave up one hit over six innings of pitching work, and Bothell High’s Jacob Remy and Cedar Park Christian’s Josh Krause had two RBIs each.
Other Northshore players are Inglemoor High’s Lane Bilbao and Woodinville High’s Tyler Milligan. The team is coached by Jordan Lettau and trains at Rijo Athletics in Woodinville.
The team took second at state and lost 2-0 to the Puget Sound Shockers in the western regionals championship game, but still qualified for the World Series. The World Series features some of the top 14-U teams from around the country, as well as Puerto Rico.
Krause was awarded the top individual hitter of the state tournament and made the regionals all-tournament team with Bilbao, Remy and Williams.
