Last week, Ian Tejeda-Martinez was presented with the Dixie Youth Virginia State Tournament batting award by Michael Hall, president of Patrick County Dixie Youth. Tejeda-Martinez ended the state tournament with an impressive batting average of .800.
The Dixie Youth Minor League Virginia State Tournament was held in South Side Park in Martinsville in July. There were 15 teams that were present in the tournament throughout the state, and Ian represented Patrick County.
“We are very proud of Ian. He is not only a good ball player, but he is also a great teammate and always has a big smile on his face. It was special to present this great accomplishment to Ian,” Hall said.
