The Gary Shira Memorial Juniors Tournament (11th Annual Junior Invitational Tournament) was held between April 24th and April 27th, 2025.  Eight Junior Division Teams from six leagues played twelve games on four different baseball fields over four days.  Special thanks to North Park LL, Serra Mesa LL, Sunshine LL, and Patriot League for hosting this time-honored tournament.  More so, many thanks and compliments to the legions of volunteers who gave so freely of themselves to make the tournament such a success!  Without our field maintenance volunteers, coaches, volunteer umpires, scorekeepers, and dedicated fans, events like this cannot happen.  This tournament witnessed four fun-filled days of exciting baseball!  All of the players gave their best efforts, and all played well.  In the end, the ‘’Jumbo Shrimp” of the Patriot League remained undefeated throughout the tournament and was awarded the championship banner – Congratulations, Jumbo Shrimp!
