The 2016 Cal-Ripken U9 Southeast Region tournament is in the books in Roanoke Rapids.

The West Raleigh team outlasted the four days of play beating the South Charlotte team 8-4 Saturday afternoon at Ledgerwood Park.

Earlier in the day Saturday West Raleigh sent Laurinburg home beating them 4-3, While South Charlotte took Manassas extra innings to win 13-12 on their road to the championship game.

What an outstanding job Roanoke Rapids Youth Baseball Association did on hosting the Southeast Region Tournament. The RRYBA board members, volunteers, Halifax County Tourism, Halifax County Sheriffs Department, Halifax Emergency Medical, City of Roanoke Rapids, Roanoke Rapids Police Department, Roanoke Rapids Public Works, Roanoke Rapids Fire Department, First Media and the Roanoke Rapids Parks and Recreation Department and many local business that sponsored our helped in so many ways to make a great impact on the Babe Ruth League and Roanoke Rapids in whole.
