The 2026 Gary Shira Memorial Juniors Tournament is our last district ran "in season" tournament for the year. The GSM Tournament was held between April 23rd and April 26th.  Eight Junior Division Teams from six leagues played twelve games on two different baseball fields over four days.  Special thanks to Rolando – La Mesa Little League 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 ‘’Loons” of the Patriot League remained undefeated throughout the tournament and was awarded the championship banner – Congratulations, Loons!
