The city of Boerne will celebrate its Little League All-Stars team Monday evening as the players return from the title game of the World Series in Williamsport, Pennsylvania.
Starting at 4:45 p.m, crowds are invited to line the community’s Main Street between Main Plaza and Thiessen Street give the team a hero’s welcome, according to organizers. The street will be blocked off starting at 5:15 p.m. to make way for the young athletes’ homecoming. Boerne lost Saturday’s U.S. Championship game to Lake Mary, Florida. The 10-7 loss was the Texas team’s first of the series. After a Sunday game against Venezuela, the Latin American regional champion, Boerne ended up in the tournament’s fourth-place slot. “The Boerne community has been cheering on this incredible team as they made their historic run to Williamsport, [Pennsylvania],” City Manager Ben Thatcher said in statement. “We want to welcome them home with a party worthy of their hard work and determination that has captivated all of us.”
After the team passes by, a formal recognition ceremony will be held at Main Plaza at approximately 5:30 p.m. to honor the players for getting so far in the league and making their home town — and the larger San Antonio community — proud.
The event is hosted by the City of Boerne and the Greater Boerne Chamber of Commerce.
