SEABSYT Champions - Singapore Seniors

The Singapore Senior Boys (and Girls) are the 2010 champions of the annual South East Asian Baseball & Softball Youth Tournment. The tournament was held in Jakarta, Indonesia this year and featured teams from Jakarta, Bangkok, Perth, Manilla and Singapore. Evan had a terrific tournament as the team when 7 and 0.

Lauren and her Dad were able to travel to the tournament. It was great to have Evan's grandfather be able to see the tournament as he really missed out on Evan's high school career. He really enjoyed himself and made many new friends and, as you might expect, became a defacto assistant coach!

Dan Crosswell, who has coached Singapore for many years, was unable to coach the team this year because he was writing a book. However, he did make it to Jakarta for the tournament and the kids were glad to see him. They won the tournament last year under Coach Crosswell and he was thrilled to see the team repeat. He had some real nice things to say about Evan's catching, especially when his good friend Michael Szopiak was pitching. They made a real good pair. Michael is off to Notre Dame next year so maybe he and Evan will be able to cross paths at a ND/Syracuse football game.

Thanks to Walt Szopiak for the great pictures.
