Ormewood Park Slides Into Baseball Championship

by Scott Wrighter

The Ormewood Park Sliders captained by Chris Dehmer and Scott Wrighter, and sponsored by The Shed at Glenwood Park won the South East Atlanta League of Softball — or SEALS — Spring championship, Sunday, May 22. In the final Championship game, Ormewood Park's team defeated Virginia-Highland.

In the semi-finals held earlier in the day, Ormewood Park beat East Lake and Virginia-Highland bested Kirkwood.

The League is a community based, co-ed league in its third year. SEALS is comprised of 10 neighborhood teams filled with the residents of Grant Park, Edgewood, East Atlanta, Ormewood Park, Kirkwood, Reynoldstown, Virginia-Highland, East Lake, Lake Claire and Oakhurst.

The Fall season starts in August, and we're always looking to accept new neighborhood teams (looking at you Inman Park and Cabbagetown). Contact me at: matterbaby31@hotmail.com if you’re interested in captaining a neighborhood team.
