All three Dearborn Crush teams had great seasons in 2009. The 11 and under team won a division title, while the 12-year-olds and 10-year-olds reached the tournament finals.

“It was nice to win a division at the travel level, as it was our first year competing at this level,” said Coach Craig Cotter. “All of these kids were playing in the recreation league last year.”

“The kids worked hard every day at practice as well as the games,” added Coach Kevin Barkoff. “This is a great accomplishment for Dearborn baseball.”

All three Crush teams ended the season with a great tournament in Otisville, Michigan. The boys and their families all enjoyed staying together at the Bavarian Inn in Frankenmuth, and the U10 and U11 teams capped off the weekend and the season by winning the tournament championship in their respective divisions, another great accomplishment for Dearborn baseball.
