DUBLIN — The West Bladen Knights’ Dixie Pre-Majors baseball team is Alabama bound after winning their third straight North Carolina championship this week.

The team, now sporting a 16-5 record, is now starting a fundraising campaign to raise money for the trip to Guntersville, Ala. A car wash and raffle is being planned for the weekend (details TBA), but folks who would like to contribute can do so by making out a tax-deductible check payable to Dixie Pre-Majors Baseball and mailing it to: Janel Strickland-Cain, P.O. Box 274, Bladenboro, N.C. 28320.
