Grade 5 Student Shines in International and National Baseball Tournaments

Aaron, a talented DAIS Grade 5 student and baseball player, had an outstanding summer competing in multiple high-level tournaments. In June 2024, he played as one of the main pitchers for Beijing Bangtong Club in the PONY Asia-Pacific Zone Championship Tournament (Mustang-10), held from June 2nd to 7th at Camona Samurai Baseball Stadium in Camona, Philippines. Eight teams from China, Japan, Guam, the Philippines, and other countries fiercely competed for the championship, with the winner earning the right to represent the region in the Bronco-10 World Series in the U.S. in July.

Aaron's team, Beijing Bangtong Club, staged a remarkable comeback, defeating Guam 15-11 to secure third place in the tournament. Aaron was one of the team's key pitchers.

His performance was highlighted in official publications by both the Chinese Baseball Association and the Dalian Baseball Association, with the only individual photo of a player - Aaron pitching - featured in these articles (all other photos were group shots). Additionally, Aaron was honored with a special interview on Dalian Television, which has already been broadcast.

In August 2024, Aaron continued to shine as one of the main pitchers when his team placed sixth in the prestigious U10 National Championship, organized by the Chinese Baseball Association. This championship is the highest-level youth baseball event in China, with over 40 clubs from across the country competing.
