The team has rallied behind honorary 9U all-star Ryder Harris, who was diagnosed with a high-grade glioma, a tumor in the brain or spinal cord formed through the abnormal growth of glial cells, earlier this year

“We all are playing for him this postseason,” wrote CLL President Jenny Ballesteros in an email. “Ryder has been included in all team activities and is like a mascot to this group of boys.”
