Congrats to Joysie (left) and Esmeralda (right) Velez for representing Granville in the Puerto Rican National team! #gohorde #granvilleny #granvillecsd
From Sports Reporter, Keith Harrington, of NYVTMedia.com:
"Granville Golden Horde softball sisters Esmeralda and Joysie Velez both excelled at the 10-day World Series Babe Ruth tournament in Florence, Alabama. Both girls play for the Puerto Rico International team at the event.
The sisters, who were both members of the Granville varsity team this spring, secured a second-place silver medal for the Puerto Rican team in the championship game against Taiwan.
Esmeralda's outstanding performance earned her the overall MVP award in the 16u category, along with a spot on the Babe Ruth All-Star team and an engraved bat.
Joysie was recognized as MVP in two of her team’s games, proudly representing Granville.
The team went 3-2 in pool play with wins over JPRD West, Australia, and Bronson.
Border Country Sports plans to catch up with the sisters for a more extensive story when they return home from Alabama. "
