Washington City Little League Softball All-Stars Headed To Regionals

Washington City Little League Softball Majors All-Stars have advanced to the Little League Regional Series in San Bernardino, California starting this weekend.

Garret Walpole manages the team with coaches Thad Seegmiller and Laci Warczak.

The team consists of the following players, 11 and 12-year-old girls:Maddy Abbott, Sarah Seegmiller, Paisley Hopkins, Kennedy Neva, Addi Carroll, Presley Woods, CJ Dickson, Gia Cuillard, Reagan Walpole, Avi Park, Zioe Warczack and Kenzie Araiza.

The team exits the Utah State Tournament having defeated Enterprise 16-4. A notable player in that game was Gia Cuillard, who homered in the fourth inning bringing in three runs. They also twice played and defeated the Cedar Nationals All-Stars 12-0 and 11-6 to complete their 3-0 state tournament record.

Team Coach Thad Seegmiller played as a boy on the Washington Baseball All-Stars in 1993.

"As a boy who played for the Washington All-Stars, I couldn't be happier than to be coaching another great group of Washington All-Star kids," he said.

Coach Seegmiller said the Washington City All-Stars believed in their team, themselves, and their bats, and the tournament results reflect that.

The Washington City Little League is a program that any age-eligible child can enter. The entry fee is approximately $70, including about $40 for league play costs and $30 for uniforms.

The league is a great example of the community coming together for the kids. The coaches are volunteers. The uniforms are affordable and the umpires are youth who are paid a fee for their efforts. This is a program that anyone can participate in.

Moving on to the Little League Regional Series, however, doesn't come without a cost and the kids could really use your help.

Their stay in California will be between 5 and 10 days depending on how they do. Their games will be broadcast on ESPN2, with the first game broadcast at 9 a.m. (Pacific Time).

The girls did a car wash at Sportsman's Warehouse last Saturday and have made other efforts, however they are still short on funds.

Please support by sending donations by Venmo to: @Thad-Seegmiller.

All donations will go directly to the team.
