The Hutto Youth Baseball and Softball Association had two teams qualify for the Pony League World Series in Youngsville, Louisiana, this past weekend. The Pinto (8U) and Shetland (6U) teams each had the opportunity to showcase their skills on a national stage.
The Hutto 8U team went 2-2 in pool play, starting strong with a 12-2 win over the Hidalgo All-Stars and following it up with a narrow 8-7 victory over the North Vermilion Youth Athletic Association. The team then dropped games to the Gregory-Portland Youth Association, 13-3, and Deer Park, 5-4.
In bracket play, the Hippos bounced back with a 13-9 win over Medina Valley Black before being eliminated in a 7-6 loss to Florida Red.
The Hutto 6U team went 0-4 in pool play, opening with a 21-20 loss to the Weatherford Roos, followed by a 17-7 defeat against Iowa (Louisiana). The team closed pool play with losses to Texas and Southwest Texas Made, and was eliminated after an 18-8 loss to the War Chiefs in bracket play.
This marks the end of the season for Hutto’s Little League teams, who will now turn their focus toward preparing for next year.
