After four days of championship play, the Carolina Mustangs won the United States Specialty Sports Association 2010 World Series July 25.

The Carolina Mustangs won all seven games, scored 75 runs and only allowed 9 runs at the youth baseball world series, 8 and under division, in Charleston, S.C.

“We defeated teams from Florida, Georgia, West Virginia and South Carolina,” said Coach Robbie Sikes.

This wasn’t the team’s first road trip this summer. They won the South Carolina state championship in Columbia earlier this month. They also took home the North Carolina state trophies for USSSA and Nations Baseball — totaling three state championships this year. They finished the season 75-5.

The Carolina Mustangs are based in Lexington, with several players from the Archdale-Trinity area: Connor Cox of Archdale, Nick Halo of Sophia, Luke Michael of Trinity and Chet Sikes of Trinity.

Coach Sikes commended his players for their exceptional attitude. “There’s no cockiness; they’re very humble,” he said.

Sikes was amazed at how calm the youngsters are at each game. “They just don’t feel any pressure. The coaches could hardly eat!” He added that the boys were ecstatic with the win.
