This past weekend, the 11U Carson Valley Dirt Bags travel baseball team brought home its second consecutive victory against five Northern Nevada travel clubs to win the April Spring Classic in Sparks.
The team was formed in October 2022 and includes 17 players from Minden, Gardnerville, and Genoa.
“The team was noticeably amped to play this weekend, no doubt fueled by the excitement of the start of the Little League season as well as MLB opening day,” said Coach Jon Storke. “I continue to be impressed with this mighty team, again overcoming brutal weather conditions to proudly represent Carson Valley and deliver another tournament win. I look forward to seeing the players continue to develop as part of Carson Valley Little League’s Majors Division this season.”
With a record of 10-2, the 11U Dirt Bags will be on hiatus during the Little League season, which opens on April 10 at Lampe Park for the Majors Division.
