After winning the 2024 Australian Senior League Championship, Eastern Phantoms are preparing to pack their bags and play on the world stage.
Phantoms will represent Australia at the 2024 Senior League Baseball World Series in South Carolina, USA from 27 July to 3 August. They are training hard ahead of the tournament and hoping to carry the momentum from their undefeated nationals campaign into the international competition.
“The cohesiveness of the boys was outstanding. Their trust in their teammates and joy they exhibited when their teammates excelled was something special,” coach Daniel Calverley said. “Our team depth is our greatest strength.”
The group picked up several double-digit wins and made the most of their time at nationals in Geelong, where they made awesome memories and got to play in a battle of the West to seal the deal.
“The tour of the Geelong facilities with Brett Johnson, former Morley Eagles baseball player, was great,” Tyson Edwards said. “I’m most proud of the continued battle and the grand final game against Wanneroo.”
“I’m most proud of the team performance over the week,” George Calverley added.
The Phantoms are excited to represent at the World Series and pave the path for their future goals, such as playing college baseball and representing their country.
“I’m most proud of winning the tournament and the trip to the US,” Brady Manning said. “My goal for the future is to make an Australia team.”
