During the regular season this same team played under the name of the Dirtbags often playing many doubleheaders on Sundays throughout the spring. The Union Newspaper ran a game story on April 17 (click here to read). All the boys played on the "Bags" as well as playing for either a Majors or Juniors team.

Steve Smith who is District 11's District Administrator has been very supportive to this newly developed Little League product which holds it's inaugural World Series in Livermore CA.
