The Northshore Vortex isn’t just a 12U baseball team — it’s a crew of boys who first came together at ages 8 and 9 with big dreams and even bigger swings. Four seasons later, they’ve grown into a force on the field and a family off it. Bonded by their love of baseball (and maybe a few post-game ice creams), these boys have turned teammates into lifelong friends — and now they’re chasing the ultimate dream: Cooperstown.
