North Carolina Little League Baseball Team To Be Recognized

A North Carolina Little League baseball team is being honored at home and at the state capitol today. The city of Greenville is holding a recognition ceremony this evening for the North State All-Stars.

Greenville became the first U.S. team in a Little League World Series to throw consecutive no-hitters. That's a big deal in baseball. Three pitchers combined for 10 strikeouts and no walks to complete the seventh perfect game in LLWS history. It ended in a 6-0 victory over Sioux Falls, South Dakota.

Two days later, the team walloped Rancho Santa Margarita, California, 16-0.

Ultimately, the North State All-Stars lost to Mexico during the championship rounds.

Gov. Roy Cooper will speak at today's event in Greenville, which is roughly 90 minutes east of Raleigh.

Also, State Sen. Don Davis will honor the team in Raleigh with a resolution on the Senate floor. Team members were scheduled to meet with lawmakers prior to the session and also to have lunch with senators and legislative staff.
