From the Nado Natterer, Dave Axelson:
Fourteen 12-year-old players, three coaches and two chaperones from Lithuania will be coming to Coronado April 1 as part of a swing through California. At 4:30 pm, on Thursday, they are in Coronado for a game.
According to CLL Vice President Kelly Weissenfels, Coronado will be represented by the Tigers of Majors Little League in the game. All of the managers, who were interested in playing, put their names in a hat and we picked the team that way. Were only five games into the season and the Tigers are doing well, so it should be a competitive game.
During the game, El Tapatio Restaurant will be selling two tacos for $3 as a fundraiser to defray expenses for hosting the Lithuanian team. As a guess, 14 baseball playing 12-year-olds will probably graze through a large number of tacos. We want to encourage everyone to come, watch and have some tacos, said Weissenfels. Sounds like Thursdays dinner and a baseball game to me, especially since Nattering World Headquarters is a brisk 90-second walk from Bradley Field at Vernetti Stadium.
After the San Diego portion of the game schedule concludes with the game against Coronado, the Lithuanian travel party will go to Sea World and then on to L.A. for a series of games and presumably a trip to Disneyland.
