The Revolution 12U Majors baseball team wins a bid to the 2015 USSSA Elite 32 World Series where the top teams in the country will compete at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex at Disney World July 25 to August 2, 2015. The team won their berth April 26 in Lexington, at one of the qualifying USSSA Super NIT tournaments held across the country.

Revolution coaches John Coble and Richie Mills say the team is looking forward to competing in this event. “It’s not too often a player gets to play on this stage,” says Coble. “We have a great group of really talented kids. They play hard, and play very well together. We are extremely proud of what they have accomplished. None of this would be possible without the support of their families and communities.”
