LAKEVILLE — They’re in the big leagues now. 

The impressive season of the FreeLake 8U All-Star team earned them a trip to the Cal Ripken World Series in Cherry Hill, N.J. _ where they are continuing to excel. 

The team, which consists of players ages 8 and 9 from Lakeville and Freetown, has secured at least a top six finish in the Series after finishing 2-1 in their first three games, manager Ed Rasar reports. 

They played their first two games Monday, Aug. 14 and ended the day with one win and one loss.

They won Tuesday and are scheduled to play Wednesday Aug. 15 against a team from Mexico. The game was played after press time.

“It’s been fun,’’ Rasar said of their World Series experience. The team attended a Philadelphia Phillies game, had a pool party, “and made new friends’’ with players from other squads.

“We’re really good at working together,’’ player Zach Amaral said during a practice shortly before the team headed to New Jersey. “We make good plays in the infield, we’re good at hitting.’’

The fundamentals have led to their fun season, player Tyrus Araujo said. “Getting in scoring position, getting the bat on the ball and putting it in play.’’

The trip to the World Series caps a championship season for the youngsters.

The team won the District 5 Tournament; Eastern MA State Tournament and the New England Regional Tournament. 

Team players are: Zach Amaral, Tyrus Araujo, Maverick Chu, Brady DeTerra, Raleigh Lewis, Jeremiah Mcsheffrey, Lex Muse, Cay Rasar, Silas Rezendes, Ben Sass, Liam Souza and A.J. Vega

In addition to manager Rasar, the team is led by coaches Mark Sass, Peter Vega and Matt DeTerra.
