The belt's estimated value is about $200. But to the Dawgs, its value transcends the monetary. Thanks to a generous offer, the belt will be replaced.
CONNECTTWEETLINKEDINCOMMENTEMAILMORELAS CRUCES, New Mexico — A euphoric moment for a group of 11-year-old baseball players from Las Cruces quickly soured on Sunday afternoon when the kids' championship belt was stolen — about an hour after they'd won it.
These much-coveted prize belts are awarded only at certain tournaments. And, until Sunday, the Dawgs, who've been competing together about three years, had never won one. A truck belonging to the team's coach, Abel Renteria, had been burglarized. It was parked in the nearby lot at the time. A series of belongings — Renteria's wife's purse, a camera bag, and the championship belt — were missing. In addition, a packet of donated gift certificates that were part of an ongoing team fundraiser were taken. The team was, understandably, disappointed.Pierce said her son, 11-year-old Santino Lozoya, "got teary-eyed when he found out the belt was gone.
A generous offerBy Monday morning, word of the stolen championship belt had reached Victor Falvey, USSSA New Mexico/Texas West baseball state director."We told them we'd gladly give it to them," he said. "The teams put a lot of effort into this. And that's a tragedy; they put in a lot of blood, sweat and tears."
