FEATURED IMPACT IN THE NEWS After an August run for the ages, Pearland Little League was honored Sept. 1 at Independence Park. The big American ag was soaring through the air as Pearland Mayor Kevin Cole declared Sept. 1 Pearland Little League Day in the city. “They showed us how to unify our community east to west,” Cole said. The All Stars nished as the third-best team in the United States, falling one game short of advancing to the U.S. championship game, and fth in the world in the Little League World Series. Pearland’s celebration was a culmination of an undefeated regular season that ended with ve Little League World Series games, three wins and countless memories. When the All Stars arrived in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, the entire team ran down to the fence, Assistant Coach Robb Zurek said. It was one of the most beautiful things he had seen, he said. “It was magical,” Zurek said. Once in Pennsylvania, the All Stars showed out with noteworthy plays and moments such as overcoming an early de cit in game one and hitting
numerous home runs. Pearland’s journey started May 15 with tryouts, Assistant Coach Andrew Solomon said. Even then, he told the kids they had a chance to be special. After several trips to the Little League World Series in the past, the city had faced a small drought in success, Solomon said. As the 2022 season progressed, the All Stars began to make that goal of putting the city back on the map a reality. Now with the journey in the rearview mirror, Solomon hopes one of the things the kids take is the new connections and bonds they were able to make, he said. “It’s more about what they get to experience through that process,” Solomon said. www.pearlandlittleleague.com
