The summer league baseball and softball seasons have just about come to a close as only a few regular season games are left to be played.

At this time, there are four and possibly five DeLeon teams that will go on to play in TTAB (Texas Teenage Association of Baseball) and TTAS (Texas Teenage Association of Softball) district tournaments over the next two weeks with the possibility of moving on to state tournaments.

BRINGING THE HEAT. Cole Dyson brings the heat to a Desperado batter during their game this past Monday night. The two teams will meet again this Thursday in Comanche at 7 p.m. to determine who will go to the TTAB nine and under district tournament.

There are three softball teams that have qualified for district tournaments that will be played during the next week.

The DeLeon Slammers will be participating in the 10 and under TTAS district tournament that will be hosted here in DeLeon. The teams they will be competing with are the Gorman Predators, Hawley Diamonds, Hawley Starz, Cisco Crush, Comanche Crush, Eastland T-Shirt Express and the Eastland Angels.

The DeLeon Fry Girlz will be competing in the 12 and under TTAS district tournament that is being hosted by Early. The teams they will be competing against are the Early Rage, Goldthwaite, Hico Lady Tigers, Brownwood Lady Bears, Grand Slammers, Comanche Kiwanis and the Cross Plains Hot Shots.

The DeLeon Johnston team will be competing in the 15 and under TTAS district tournament that is being hosted in Brownwood. The teams they will be competing with are Early, Brownwood Blast, Goldthwaite, Comanche Stars and the Hico Lady Tigers.

The DeLeon Sluggers have secured first place in the Tri-County 12 and under boys division. With this first place finish, they have qualified to participate in the TTAB district tournament that is being hosted here in DeLeon the week of July 10.

The Sun City Sluggers have a chance this Thursday to secure a spot in the nine and under TTAB district tournament that is to be played in Ranger. If they are able to defeat the Dublin Desperados on Thursday, they will advance on to the district tournament.
