Hudsonville/Georgetown Little League Junior Softball aims for repeat World Series title
HUDSONVILLE - After winning the Junior League Softball World Series last year, the Hudsonville/Georgetown Little League Junior Softball team is on a repeat quest.
The team was undefeated in this year's district, state and regional tournaments, reaching the world series and aiming for a title defense.
The series is July 30-Aug. 5 in Kirkland, Washington, and will include international teams.
Hudsonville/Georgetown was 4-0 in the regionals last week in Pendleton, Indiana, including a 7-0 victory in the championship game against Indiana.
"We are incredibly proud of our team's undefeated performance throughout the district, state, and regional tournaments," coach Shawn Veenstra said. "Their hard work and dedication have earned us a spot in the Junior League Softball World Series, and we can't wait to make our community proud once again."
The journey to Washington comes at a cost and the team has set up a GoFundMe for some help with travel expenses.
"We are looking for support from our community to make this journey possible," added Veenstra. "Your support will play a crucial role in our quest to bring home another championship."
