When you're nine or 10 years old and it's your first baseball trip away from home, the excitement is tough to contain.
When that first road trip is to another country, the anticipation must be positively staggering.
So you can image the job Jason Schwing has ahead of him as manager of the LTN Contracting Knights. He'll be trying to keep a tight rein on 12 young ball players when they hit the field in Lyndon, Wash., this weekend for the Summer Kickoff nine-and-10-year-old tournament.
The Knights are part of an eight-team mosquito division in what will be their first tune-up leading to the Baseball B.C. provincial championship, July 31-Aug. 2 in Rutland. The team also has a tournament trip to Kamloops booked for Canada Day weekend.
