Freeport, Bahamas - Little Leaguers from throughout the region are warming up for one of the most exciting events to hit the Caribbean baseball circuit, the 2014 Caribbean Little League Regional Baseball Tournament. After a thirteen year hiatus, the tournament returns Grand Bahama with ten days of Grand Slam action. Vice President of the Bahamas Baseball Federation, Mr. Eddie Clarke brought the event to Grand Bahama for a second time to give The Islands of The Bahamas, the much needed exposure that they truly deserve. With 200 plus Little Leaguers representing eight Caribbean countries including: Aruba, Bonaire, British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Curacao, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands; joined by two Bahamian teams, representing New Providence and Grand Bahama, the teams will be competing for an opportunity to qualify for the Little League World Series.

The Ministry of Tourism and the GBI Tourism Board are partnering with this event and will host the participants to a Welcome Reception on the eve of competition. The 2014 Caribbean Little League Regional Baseball Tournament will be held July 18th- 27th at the Emera Caribbean Baseball park, Freeport, Grand Bahama, beginning at 11:00am daily.
