SAN ANGELO, TX – A baseball team from San Angelo is going to the state tournament for the first time since the 1990’s.  San Angelo Western Intermediate 50/70 All Star team will play in the state tournament in Abilene Thursday. 

According to team spokesperson Shona Ramos, Intermediate 50/70 is for players ages 11-13 and is the division between Majors and juniors. The number 50 is the pitching distance and 70 is the base distance.

Ramos says they are raising money for the historic trip to state, “we will be looking to fundraise.”
