Our apologies for the delayed post but never to late to celebrate!

June 18–21, these ND Griffin boys played a total of 8 games and left it all on the field. After a weekend full of hard-fought battles, they earned 2nd Runner-Up Silver Bracket in the Cajun World Series in Lafayette, LA! ❤️⚾💙

What makes this team even more special? Most travel baseball teams are made up of players from different schools, but these boys all represent the same school. The bond, teamwork, and pride they share as ND Griffins make this accomplishment even sweeter. #LEADlikeaGriffin
