MATAMOROS LITTLE LEAGUE WILL REPRESENT MEXICO IN INTERNATIONAL BRACKET
Special to El Rrun-Rrun
Boerne, Texas and Matamoros, Tamaulipas are about 500 miles apart on either side of the Rio Grande, but both are now in Williamsport, Pa., Boerne representing Texas West, on the United States Bracket and Matamoros representing Mexico on the International Bracket.
Matamoros Little League had its best finish in the 2008 LLBWS, winning five straight games on the way to a runner-up finish in the championship game.
Mexico’s illustrious past in the LLBWS goes back to the country’s first World Series in 1957, where Industrial Little League (Monterrey) became the first international team to win the LLBWS with Angel Macias throwing the only perfect game ever in a championship game.
Mexico will open the tournament against the Caribbean Region in Game 1 of the World Series on Wednesday, August 14, at noon. in Volunteer Stadium.

Good luck to everyone involved. Play hard and have fun!
Just imagine ALL the Money Arturo Trevinio made by collecting Donations to help the kids? Those kids received new shoe laces worth $20,000 US Dollars. Shoe Laces cost $50.00 pesos and the rest of the $19,950.00 was for logistics and administrative fees. Of course Pedro Cardenas received $5,000.00 for his Golf Tournament from Los Trevi.
