With Dillsburg Youth Baseball's state and international All-Star teams recently eliminated from postseason play, all eyes now shift to DYB's pair of squads taking on the Clarence Boyd Tournament.
And let's just say those boys are putting on a clinic worth watching.
DYB's 7-8 CBT All-Stars are unbeaten at 5-0, and have outscored opponents 46-6 in the process. Dillsburg cruised through pool play and is one win away from hoisting a District 14 championship banner.
The CBT 9-10 All-Stars are 4-0 after pasting their pool play opponents by a combined 51-4 score. Dillsburg was scheduled to open double-elimination play on Wednesday.

Section 7 tourney spells end for DYB All-Stars

The Little League season is officially over for Dillsburg Youth Baseball's final two All-Star teams, which both went down in their respective Section 7 double-elimination tournaments last week.
Dillsburg's 8-10 All- Stars opened with a 15-0 win over Octorara, but back-to-back losses to Glenmoore (9-1) and Greencastle (9-4) spelled an end to the season. Dillsburg's 8-10 group of boys finishes with a 6-2 record and a District 14 championship banner. They outscored opponents 101-21 in the process.
The DYB Majors All-Stars also had high hopes when they, much like the 8-10 All-Stars, opened with a 15-0 victory over Octorara. But eventual champion Eastside proved to be a thorn in the side of Dillsburg. Eastside first sent Dillsburg to the loser's bracket with a walkoff 4-3 win, and after Dillsburg played its way back into contention with a 7-5 win over Greencastle, Eastside delivered the final blow with a 10-7 victory. The DYB Majors All-Stars, who got four home runs in four section games from Brady Anderson, conclude their season with a 9-2 record that saw them outscore opponents by a 116-22 score.
