Rendon, teammates visit Nationals Youth Baseball Academy

Before they took the field against the Reds tonight to start a four-game series, third baseman Anthony Rendon and some of his Nationals teammates spent time this afternoon visiting with scholar-athletes at the Washington Nationals Youth Baseball Academy.

The visit highlighted the historic championship by the Mamie Johnson Little League 12-U team and the end of the summer programming at the Youth Baseball Academy, where many of the Little League players are scholar-athletes in the year-round programs.

In addition to today's visit, the Nationals honored the Mamie Johnson Little League team during pregame ceremonies Thursday. They are the first team from Ward 7 to win a D.C. Little League championship.

They will represent D.C. at the Little League World Series regional tournament next week.
