Capitol defeated New Castle 11-1 in the opening round of the 11-12 year old international tournament on Saturday.  Playing in front a large crowd at our home field the boys came out a little slow, trailing 1-0 heading into the bottom of the third.  After Brendon Potts scored on a wild pitch, Sam Goines hit a 2-run shot over the left-center field fence to ignite Capitol's charge.  Capitol put up 8 more runs in the 4th to close out a game that was called due to the 10 run rule.  Keith Kubec pitched a brilliant game, giving up only 3 hits and allowing that lone run to score in the first.  Keith also went 3 for 3 and scored the first run in the 8 run 4th inning.  Capitol moves on to face Canal Thursday, July 7th @ Midway.  Game time is 5:30.

Midway 4 Capitol 3
Capitol's run toward a district crown ended tonight vs a strong Midway team.  Keith Kubec pitched a beautiful game and kept the boys in it until the end.  Trailing 4-1 going into the top of the 6th Capitol's bats woke up and provided some fire works.  Evan Hughes single to left was followed by Mike Wisnoski's single up the middle.  Some creative baserunning led to Midway's centerfielder throwing the ball into their dugout which scored Hughes.  Kubec followed with a walk.  With 2 outs Danny McDermott legged out an infield hit and brought Sammy Goines to bat.  Goines was intentionally walked to load the bases, but the rally fell short after that.  It was a great effort on the part of a very young team featuring 9 11 year olds.  They played beyond their years with the help of the 12 year old leaders of the team Goines, Wisnoski and Roach.  The District finals will be held on July 21st(if game 22nd) @ Newark National.   States will be at Seaford starting July 26th.
