Perfect Game, the world’s largest youth baseball and softball platform and scouting service, announced a partnership with Lucas Oil that will see the automotive giant serve as the title sponsor for Perfect Game Youth’s sixth annual 9U and 12U National World Series. The event will take place June 20-25 at the East Cobb Complex in Marietta, Ga., and surrounding facilities.
Since its inception in 2019 as the marquee event for Perfect Game Youth, the number of teams competing in the various National World Series events has more than quadrupled. This year, over 425 teams representing the 8U-12U classes from more than 40 states are expected to participate.
«Lucas Oil’s commitment to both problem solving and hard work resonates with Perfect Game’s athletes,» said Perfect Game CEO Rob Ponger. «Baseball is all about thinking several moves ahead of your competitor and the Lucas family has epitomized that thought process, passing it on from one generation to the next. We are proud to welcome Lucas Oil into the Perfect Game family.»
«At Lucas Oil, we are passionate about supporting youth sports and recognize the vital role team sports play in building character, fostering teamwork and instilling a strong work ethic,» said Lucas Oil President Katie Lucas. «Partnering with Perfect Game allows us to contribute to the development of future baseball stars and reinforce our commitment to excellence and community values. We are excited to support the National World Series and look forward to watching these talented young players showcase their skills and love for the game.»
Opening Day activities for 9U and 12U teams will take place at Adventhealth Stadium, home of the Rome Emperors, a single-A affiliate of the Atlanta Braves. The National World Series is traditionally Perfect Game Youth’s most competitive event with over 400 teams vying to claim the title of PG World Series Champion. Perfect Game’s Select Baseball Festival serves as one of the main identifiers leading into the event for 12U.
