’s 11-year-old tournament team won the first annual “Swing for the Cure” baseball tournament that occurred from Sept. 9-11. The tournament fundraiser was hosted by Delaware’s Fox Point Little League and was organized to help promote cancer awareness.

battle to AML leukemia last October, and Fox Point’s own Bob Shull. All proceeds benefited the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and the Andrew McDonough B+ Foundation.
