ALEXANDRIA, VA – The Alexandria Aces are headed back to the Cal Ripken Sr. Collegiate Baseball League Championship Series for the fourth time in five years, following a decisive sweep of the Olney Cropdusters in the semifinals.
The best-of-three championship series begins Sunday, July 27, on the road, with Game 2 returning to Frank Mann Field in Alexandria on Monday, July 28 at 6:30 PM. Fans are encouraged to turn out in full force to support the hometown team in what promises to be the biggest game of the season.
