The jewel of East Tampa sports youth programs, the Belmont Heights Little League, has returned from their victory at the Tourna- ment Of Champions.
BHLL has not entered the next stage of tournament play. South Brandon Little League was host as Belmont Heights Little League All Stars entered three teams to com- pete for the 2015 District 13
championship.
As the games progressed and teams were eliminated, BHLL had all three teams in the final championship games.
9 and 10 years olds were to play the South Brandon All- Stars, winning their game 19- 2.
Next was the junior division where the opponent was the Progress Village All-Stars, and BHLL walked away with the win and a score of 24-1.
The last game of the tourna-
ment pitted he major league division BHLL All-Stars against the south Brandon All- Stars. BHLL won that game 18-5.
