The Rebel Baseball Club, comprised of Vestavia seventh-graders, recently won the 2015 Grand Slam World Series 13-U division in Panama City Beach, Florida. The Rebels went undefeated through six games beating teams from Georgia, Louisiana, Indiana and Tennessee. Through the series, the Rebel sluggers averaged 9.5 runs per game while defensively only allowed an average of three runs per game.
