SYLVANIA — Two of Screven County’s youngest baseball players got a taste of big league success earlier this month as 8-year old B.J. Carver and 9-year old Xander Kile were selected to travel to Westfield, Ind., to play with the Baseball Youth America team. The pair joined talented players from across the nation in the five-day camp. They were given the chance to play several different positions throughout practices and games and — unlike the rules for their age groups in Georgia — hit off of live pitching.
