Cambrian Park was invited to go to the Little League World Series back in 2020 but then the pandemic began. Now a team of 29 players are heading to Williamsport to play in a big exhibition game this summer. SanJose
Little baseball players are headed to the Little League World Series in Pennsylvania. This is the first time kids from San Jose will play in the games with other players from around the world.
"There were some kids with special needs that didn’t have a team to play on, so I started one for them," said Barbara Morrone, Cambrian Park Challenger Manager. "This is a huge deal. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, a dream come true. There are Challenger teams all over the world and Cambrian was selected to play. So I’m very honored to have this opportunity and to share it with our players," Morrone said.
"This program has really helped parents like myself or the other parents on this team to be able to watch your kids have a normal experience. But it’s great that the typical kids that are a part of Cambrian Park and all the other little league programs around here, get to interact with our kids and know that they’re just kids that want to play baseball," Maravilla said.
