Chapin 10-U Teams up with the Blowfish
December 19, 2019 - Coastal Plain League (Coastal Plain)
Lexington County Blowfish News Release
The Lexington County Blowfish are honoring baseball's return to the Olympics in 2020, competing in patriotic themed "Team Blowfish 2020" jerseys this upcoming summer. But "Team Blowfish" is expanding beyond Lexington County Baseball Stadium.
The Blowfish are heading to Chapin. That's right, the Blowfish have partnered with a Lexington County 10-U baseball team that will become the Chapin Blowfish. The team, led by Carlos Deuringer and other coaches, will practice twice a week and participate in tournaments sanctioned by the USSSA every other weekend.
"This is a wonderful opportunity to continue growing the game of baseball in Lexington County," Blowfish co-owner Bill Shanahan stated. "The Blowfish brand is one that represents hard work, community outreach, and good sportsmanship. The Lexington County Blowfish are excited to see the Chapin Blowfish on the field this Spring."
The likeness will not be in name only. The Chapin Blowfish will wear jerseys that are nearly identical to the "big club." (Pictured above is the team practice jersey).
"The baseball experience that the Lexington County Blowfish already have in place with community activities and family-oriented baseball should make this season a special one for the kids, friends and family," Chapin Blowfish coach Deuringer told me.
Practices will start on Thursday, January 9th and will run every Tuesdays and Thursdays in Chapin and tryouts will be held during these practices. Please contact Carlos Deuringer at 803.995.2100 to learn more about the team, the program, and the practice/tryouts' schedule.
