I want to congratulate all our District Champions for their fine post-season efforts. As a District, we compete in five (5) levels of post-season play. This year, three (3) of our District Champions went on to capture Section Championships and the other two (2) played in the championship game of the Section tournament. I would especially like to commend the El Rio LL Seniors for their Section Championship and their outstanding performance in the Southern California Division III Tournament. They came within one (1) win of the Southern California Championship.

   I’d like to applaud our District and Section Tournament hosts, Conejo Valley LL, El Rio LL, Moorpark LL, and Thousand Oaks LL for volunteering their time and facilities and showing District 13 hospitality to all our local leagues plus our visitors from Districts 63 & 65. It surely would not have happened without the efforts of their volunteer announcers, field crew, pitch counters, scorekeepers and snack shack personnel. I’d also like to thank all our volunteer umpires from District 13 and their brethren from Districts 40 and 63 for ensuring that our post-season games were, as always, officiated in a very professional manner.

  Lastly, I’d like to thank our District staff for their support to all our leagues throughout the year and their willingness to supervise forty-six (46) post-season games in twenty-seven (27) days.

  As we look forward to the 2023 season, it is my hope that we can continue to increase the participation in our baseball program in all our leagues throughout Eastern Ventura County.
