TESCO
Get Well Soon Shawn! We miss you!
TESCO formed in 1993 and got off to a rocky start with a 1-19 inaugural season. It took a few years to get the team moving in the right direction, and the 1998 campaign marked the first of eleven post season appearances including the GBL Regular Season Titles in 2003, 2007 & 2009, Divisional Titles in 2004 & 2005, and five Glenwood League Championship Titles.
TESCO's seventeen seasons mark the second longest active Glenwood sponsorship in the circuit today behind long time rival Harrington Industrial Laundry. In a decade and a half the team has compiled a 222-172 overall record, including five league titles and numerous individual honors. In August 2003 TESCO earned the WSEE 35 Team of the Week honor, and again in 2005, 2006, 2007 & 2009 WICU TV 12 honored the squad with the WICU Team of the Week award.
After the 2008 season the team faced a major re-construction and re-dedication to meet the new challanges of a highly competitive league. The decision paid dividends right away with the squad capturing the regular season title and post season championship titles. This summer starts a new decade of TESCO baseball as the squad sets its sights on a successful regular season and championship series title defense.

This season the TESCO Baseball Family will be partnering with the A.N.N.A Shelter to help provide second chances to some of the less fortunate animals in Erie County.
With every victory the TESCO team will donate $65.50 to the A.N.N.A. Shelter's efforts to care for the needy and neglected animals in Erie PA.
22 wins x $65.50 = $1,441.00
In addition to this running donation we will feature a dog every week or so that is currently housed at the shelter, and if you decide to give him/her a permanent loving home, the donation fee is on us!
Just contact the A.N.N.A. Shelter at:
1555 East 10th Street
