Asher Wallace rejoined the 10u Padres during USSSA's Swing Into Fall Classic in Florence on August 29 & 30.  It was a big weekend for Asher, as he got to spend time with both of his travel ball teams, the Padres and the Carolina Bruins.  After the game, Asher's teammates joined him for a trip around the bases.

"It was great having Asher back with the team.  His positive attitude and big smile make a difference in the dugout for the team," said Padre first base coach Jeff Hendrix.  "Now, we've got to get him back on the field."

Padres Go 6-2 Over Two Tournaments in West Columbia

To round the 2014-15 season, the Pee Dee Padres 9U team played back-to-back weekends in West Columbia.  After taking the Spring off to play Dixie Youth, it was the team's first tournament action since November. 

Despite the layoff, the team performed very well.  And had a lot of fun doing it.  In all, 18 players took the field for the Padres over the two weekends.  When all the dust settled, the team compiled a 6-2, including two wins over 10U teams, and took home the championship in 2015 Summer Sizzler for 9U.  Great job, Padres!
