Congratulations go out to three of our 10 & U Angels - they have been playing with the Cheektowaga Crabapple 10 & U Travel team since April after they tried out and were chosen to be on the team. Their home field this year is at Standard Parkway. They play different town teams and they came in second place this season. They played the Lancaster Heat in the semi-final game on July 23rd and lost 2-1. Great game. Our girls should be proud of how well they played in the playoffs and the season. They also played in the Connie Mack Tournament and made it to the semi-finals against South Cheektowaga Fire and lost 5-3. It was a great defensive game. They won three games during this tournament. Let's congratulate Alyssa Luksch, Kristen Rohe and Stephanie Zakowicz.
..B-DIVISION ATHLETICS HAVE GREAT SEASON..
Congratulations to all the Athletics on a great season. All the boys continued to improve as the season progressed. The Cubs, Tigers and Phillies all presented numerous challenges throughout the season making it very difficult for the A's as they pursued an undefeated season.

8 AND UNDER TOURNAMENT CHAMPS
The challenge of winning 4 games in 3 days was met by the 8 and under Cleve-Hill All-Star team which participated in The 1st Annual Jonathan Hales Memorial Scholarship
Tournament-sponsored by the N.Tonawanda Babe Ruth Baseball League.
Great defense featuring 3 double plays frustrated a strong Mattewson-McCarthy
who were coming off a championship of there own in last weeks Lancaster-Depew tournament. The story of the game, however, was the clutch hitting of Mike W. and
Connor R. With the game tied at 13 in the bottom of the 6th Mike W. led off with a
single and scored the game winning and championship clinching run 3 pitches later on
Connor R's double to right.

During July we had a delegation of French baseball players come to Western New York and play at Clevehill Baseball. It was a fun time for all and we hope they enjoyed their experience in the Western New York area especially in Cheektowaga at Clevehill Baseball.
A thank you letter was received by our President of Clevehill Baseball from Dr. Jean F. Gounard, President of the Buffalo-Lille Association.
On behalf of the Buffalo-Lille Association Inc., I wish to thank you for hosting young Lille delegates this summer.
You are indeed true ambassadors for the Niagara region because our friends from Lille will carry forever fond memories in their hearts of their stay among us. Also, we all know that we now have an extended family in France that will help Buffalo and the Western New york area to be recognized for their outstanding human and professional qualities.
We also heard from our friends of the Baseball Club of Ronchin Lille, France after the horrific attack on our Nation on September 11. They wrote:
I want to express our sincere condolences. We are all shocked by the barbarity of these kamikaze pirates; this was a terrible affront to human dignity and an attack on the Western free world. I am deeply touched, to the depths of my heart. I want to express my complete solidarity for the American people. I am proud that my country supports yours, and that we are ready to act so that justice will be done. I hope that you are all well and I wait for your news.
14-15 Clevehill Boys Team #1
The Cleve-Hill #1 14-15 boys team has gotten off to the finest start of any Cleve-Hill team in recent memory. They are currently 10-0 and have shut-out their last 3 opponents. They have a good combination of pitching, hitting and defense. Offensively there are good hitters throughout the lineup; Matt Mackiewicz and Dan Eisenhardt are leaders in run scoring from the top of the lineup. Ryan Amos, Dan Polino and Jeff Chiarmonte have hit home-runs and are the leading RBI men. The pitching staff has thrown 5 shut-outs and includes Dan Polino (4 runs allowed in 20 IP, 2 complete game shut-outs); Ryan Amos 18 2/3 innings pitched, 38 strikeouts. Kevin Malaney, Dan Eisenhardt and Matt Mackiewicz round out a solid pitching staff which has led Cleve-Hill #1 to outscore the opponents 107-17.
Defensively, they are solid throughout with John Meyer, Mike Wawrzyczek, and Tim Sztaba making all the plays in the outfield, with Sztaba recently recording 2 outfield assists in one game. Jeff Kunkel and Adam Ives play both infield and outfield positions and contribute with good speed on the base paths. We are looking forward to contined success the rest of the season through the playoffs and Crabapple Tournament.

Giants 8 Reds 2
The Giants for the second consecutive game came from behind in quest of a championship. Their opponents in the championship game was a very determined Reds team who earned their way into the big game by knocking off the Dodgers by a 12-6 score. The Reds looked to take command of the game early when in the top of the first inning Ryan Thompson, Corey Gegenfeurtner, Jonathan Skorka, and Drew Bielanin strung together 4 consecutive singles which would score Ryan and Corey. But with bases loaded and no outs C.J. Rehbaum worked his way out of the jam by striking out Greg Frank Jr. and Josh Scheller before inducing Matt Schmidt to ground out to short on a play that was easily handled by Nick Galenti. In the bottom of the first the g-men roared back tying the game when Nick singled, stole second and third before scoring on C.J.'s triple to right. Ryan Bower's single would plate C.J. and the inning ended with the two teams tied at 2. Robbie Larkin would score the only and eventual game winning run in the second after getting hit by a pitch.
The Giants would tack on three more runs in the third on RBI singles by C.J. and Ryan that would score Fritz Simmeth, Nick and C.J.. In the bottom of the 5th Mark Macadlo and Fritz would score to extend the lead to 8-2.
Strong pitching by C.J., Nick, and Ryan was the big story of the game as the three combined to allow only 2 runs on 6 hits while striking out 12 and only allowing one walk.
Congratulations to the Giants for their championship and to the Reds for proving to be a very formidable opponent.

In what can only be described as a pitcher's duel the Giants squeezed out a 2-1 victory against the Braves.
A trio of pitchers that included C.J. Rehbaum, Nick Galenti and Ryan Bower held the Braves to 1 run on 3 hits with 14 stikeouts. The pitching duo of Mike Wagner and Andrew Sadowy were not to be out done however, as the Giants also struggled at the plate with 2 runs on 2 hits and 10 strikeouts.
This was the third consecutive 1 run ball game for the Giants as the early season is beginning to show that the story of a-league baseball in 2002 will be pitching with each team having several talented hurlers.

Strong pitching continues to be the strength for a Giants team that is only allowing 2 runs and 2 hits while striking out 14 through the first 4 games of the '02 season.
Patient hitting was the key to tonight's game as the Giant batters waited out Red's pitching to draw numerous walks. This provided RBI opportunities for Jeremiah
Hughes who doubled to score two in the first. His double was followed by Anthony
Iannone's triple which also scored two. Later in the game Connor Rehbaum hit his
first home run of the season scoring Fritz Simmeth in front of him.
The Reds and Giants have split two games this season and look forward to their next opportunity to play each other on June 8 in what promises to be an entertaining contest.

In what can only be described as the game of the living dead a flat Giants team overcame a 9-0 deficit by pushing across 11 runs in the bottom of the 5th in route to defeating an equally unenthused Braves team 11-9.
Whether it was the hot and humid night or the anticipation of the last day of school, neither team displayed their true talents on this difficult night. No worries though boys as your coaches and parents realize it was just one of THOSE games.
On a more positive note, Mike Wagner of the Braves and Ryan Bower for the Giants pitched wonderfully during their innings of work to keep the game entertaining enough to resemble baseball. Through 3 innings of work as the starter Mike allowed only one hit while striking out 7. In 4 1/3 innings of
relief Ryan gave up only 3 hits and struck out 13, which means there was not one out made in the field behind Ryan while he was on the hill. {Yikes} Coach John Rehbaum

After a confusing and late start, another Beverly Hills helped out both teams by lending us some players. It was a hard game for both teams playing with new players, but they did their best. The Beverly Hills team had some great hitters and were able to keep our outfield scrambling. Nick Lograsso, Mitchell Maziarz and Nick P. (Beverly Hills) pitched for the Braves. Mitchell, his first time pitching , did a great job, he gave up a double with his first pitch, walked the next and then struck out the next three, he followed up that inning with tag on second during the steal. Jeff Sley helped Mitch out at catcher, nothing got past him, and he got the ball back to the mound every time. Zach Mack played a great game at short covering second and backing up the pitcher.

A great game despite the heat. Their enthusiasm was incredible. The T-ball Braves have really come around this year, with one game left, they were all hitting from the pitch like little pro's. They knew the plays in the field and were able to call where they were, if they were tags or force
outs. Their sportsmanship skills and behavior were the highlight of the game. Dominic P., Smitty S., Kyle M., Christopher M. and Tyler K., our five "senior" players all hit and played the field great. The "rookies", A.J., Tyler, David and Emily all played their best, Emily made some "diving" plays off the pitchers mound to stop the grounders, A..J. and Tyler have had their best hits all season these last three games.

Mike "the one man gang" Wagner en route to hard fought 4-3 victory. The Braves jumped out to an early 3-0 lead in the top of the first on Mike's 2 run double. Smart base-running allowed Mike to move to third on the throw to the plate making it possible for the third Braves run to score on Nick LoGrasso's fielder's choice. The early threat ended when Jeffrey Sley grounded out to starting pitcher Nick Galenti.
The Giants answered in the bottom of the first when with one out Nick G. worked a perfect bunt base hit which was immediately followed by C.J. Rehbaum's homerun to right field. The Giants next chance to score would not come until the bottom of the forth as Mike W. would strike out the next 8 batter's. The bottom of the 4th saw the Giants take the lead for good when Fritz Simmeth began the inning with a hard single to center. Two pitches later Fritz would steal second and shortly thereafter score on Nick's single. C.J. would reach base by walking and work his way around to score the eventual game winning run.
The threesome of Nick G., C.J. and Ryan Bower would hold the Braves to three runs on one hit while striking out 12. Mike W. went the distance for the Braves allowing 4 runs on 4 hits while striking out 13.

Giants 8 Reds 2
The Giants for the second consecutive game came from behind in quest of a championship. Their opponents in the championship game was a very determined Reds team who earned their way into the big game by knocking off the Dodgers by a 12-6 score. The Reds looked to take command of the game early when in the top of the first inning Ryan Thompson, Corey Gegenfeurtner, Jonathan Skorka, and Drew Bielanin strung together 4 consecutive singles which would score Ryan and Corey. But with bases loaded and no outs C.J. Rehbaum worked his way out of the jam by striking out Greg Frank Jr. and Josh Scheller before inducing Matt Schmidt to ground out to short on a play that was easily handled by Nick Galenti. In the bottom of the first the g-men roared back tying the game when Nick singled, stole second and third before scoring on C.J.'s triple to right. Ryan Bower's single would plate C.J. and the inning ended with the two teams tied at 2. Robbie Larkin would score the only and eventual game winning run in the second after getting hit by a pitch.
The Giants would tack on three more runs in the third on RBI singles by C.J. and Ryan that would score Fritz Simmeth, Nick and C.J.. In the bottom of the 5th Mark Macadlo and Fritz would score to extend the lead to 8-2.
Strong pitching by C.J., Nick, and Ryan was the big story of the game as the three combined to allow only 2 runs on 6 hits while striking out 12 and only allowing one walk.
Congratulations to the Giants for their championship and to the Reds for proving to be a very formidable opponent.

The first warm night of the early season made for some great baseball when the Dodgers and Giants played in a game that had it all.
Strong pitching, slick fielding and timely hitting impressed all who witnessed the Giants bottom of the sixth 5 run surge for a 6-5 victory.

During the regular season the 8 & U girls had a 8-4 record going into the playoffs. Clevehill beat Southline #1 12 -2 in the quarterfinals and defeated Southside #1 by 4 runs in the semifinals. They played NCAAA in the Championship game but lost by 6 runs.
The 8 & U girls participated in the Crabapple tournament and lost both their games to South Cheektowaga and Southline but they went home happy to be done for the year. Good luck next year!!!
A quote by Vince Lombardi - "We didn't lose the game; we just ran out of time. "
CRABAPPLE TOURNAMENT 2003
Congratulations to the Clevehill 13 and U Boys Crabapple Champs!!!
and
Cleve Hill 10 and Under Crabapple Champs
As this years Crabapple tournament approached, Cleve-Hills 10 year old boys were primed to come away with the championship. Having recently completed the 10-year-old Babe Ruth district tournament in third place, Big Blue was confident that this years Crabapple championship would be theirs.
The strength of Cleve-Hill throughout this tournament was pitching. A foursome of hurlers which included Nick Galenti, Ronnie Lawrence, Connor Rehbaum and Mike Wagner combined for back to back to back shut outs en route to a 3 wins, 0 losses record in this years double elimination format. The impressive pitching statistics do not end there, however. This formidable pitching staff combined to hold their 3 opponents (Southline 16-0; NCAAA 6-0, NCAAA 5-0) to a combined .118 batting average, while striking out 30, walking 6, allowing only 6 hits and preventing all but 3 base runners from reaching third base.
At the plate the blue and gold displayed a potent line-up that had a cumulative batting average of .474. What made this hitting performance impressive was that each player who came to the plate made contributions, no one or two players carried the team.
In the championship game against NCAAA, Cleve-Hill was challenged throughout the game to come up with plays in the field. In every inning, except the 4th, NCAAA got a base runner on and the Cleve-Hill pitching and defense had to rise to the occasion to prevent the base runner from moving into scoring position. With two out and a runner on first in the bottom of the 6th inning, left fielder Andrew Sadowy tracked down a high pop-up to record the final out of the tournament. When the umpire threw up his fist signaling the final out, the Cleve-Hill team rushed their left fielder, knocking him to the ground in celebration.
The 2003 Crabapple 10 and Under Cleve-Hill championship team were: Nick Galenti, Ronnie Lawrence, Mitchell Maziarz, Larry Moochler, Connor Rehbaum, Andrew Sadowy, Zach Sheisley, Jonathan Skorka, Mike Wagner, Zach Williams; John Rehbaum (Manager), Mike Wagner Sr. (pitching coach), Brian Galenti (coach) and Lou Galenti (coach).

6/29/03 CH -2 SS1 -3
Our final game of the regular season was a unique experience for the girls! Tied after 6 regulation innings we went into extra innings! Unfortuntely we were not the winners but individually we had some great accomplishments! In the top of the 7th Danielle Bellman got a hit to get to first. The next batter Ashley got on base! Coaches Bob Flynn, Andy Bellman and Ken Newton told Sarah Keller to keep her hit on the ground. Her ground ball advanced the runners all the way to home plate ...........scoring 2 runs!!!!! This gave the Braves a 2 run lead!!!! Southside came up and scored 3 runs ending our 1st extra inning game on a losing note!!! But what a game it was!!!! It took a total team effort to get to the extra innings!!!
Great job girls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Clevehill then advanced to the semi-finals against Lou Gehrig again, but lost in the extra innings 6-3. Clevehills pitching staff of Wagner, Lawrence, Rehbaum and Galenti were talk of the tournament allowing the fewest runs.
Lou Gehrig then went on and won the State Tournament and finished 3rd in the Regionals. Coach Wagner has since talked to Lou Gehrig coaches and they said Clevehill could easily have won it all and said they did not see a better pitching staff in Jamestown or New Jersey. They also said they dont look forward to seeing us next year.
Team players are Mitch Maziarz, Zack Frank, Josh Simmeth, Robbie Larkin, Andrew Sadowy, Nick Galenti, Ronnie Lawrence, Jonathan Skorka, Mike Wagner, Connor Rehbaum, Zack Williams, Larry Moochlar and Zack Shiesley.
Special thanks to Greg Frank, John Rehbaum and to all the fans for your support.

Major Division Expos 2 S.S. 3[ White Sox 1
EXPOS WIN PITCHING DUEL
Lead by the pitching of Connor Rehbaum the Expos won a classic 11-12 year old game 2-1 in 7 innings. Rehbaum went 5 2/3 innings allowing only one run while holding the White Sox to only 4 singles, 4 walks and 11 strikeouts. Only one base runner reached 3rd base. That would be the first batter of the game who would score on a two out single by J Fish. Rehbaum would also drive in the tying run in the fifth scoring Joe Nowaczyk. The hit would come after fouling off 3, 2 strike pitches Nowaczyk would get the win in relief going 1 1/3 striking out 3 and walking 3. The winning run scored when Matt Schmidt hit a two-strike single up the middle driving in Anthony Scibetta.

Major Division - The Expos continued their winning ways this time against S.S. 2 despite having to travel from Southside's fields where the game was scheduled to be played over to Beverley Hills. Upon arrival the boy's only had a few moments to warm up before taking the field. In spite of all the confusion the Expos were able to overcome a quiet first two innings at the plate where only one run was scored and take control of the game from the third inning on, where they broke open the game en route to a 11-1 drubbing of winless Southside 2. As usual the pitching staff for the Expos put on dominant performance led by starter Ryan Gemmatti who held S.S. 3 to one run on no hits through 3 innings of work. The lone run came in the 3rd after Ryan walked the bases full. The run scored when the Southside batter popped up putting the infield fly rule into effect. Unfortunately for the Expos the ball fell harmlessly to the ground as no one made an attempt to catch the ball. Ryan finished his three innings of work with 5 K's and 4 walks. The game was put on ice when Anthony Scibetta worked the final two innings striking out 3 and walking 3. Scibetta was also the hitting story of the game going 3 for 3 walking once and scoring four times. The perfect game for a lead-off hitter. The game was shortened to five innings because of darkness.

MAJOR DIVISION PLAYOFFS
Tuesday July 20, 2004 Expos 16 Cardinals 2
Having stumbled down the stretch losing four of their last five games the Expos needed to get an early lead over the Cardinals if they hoped to come away with a victory in the opening round of the playoffs.
The quick start they were looking for was accomplished as they jumped out to a 5-1 lead after one inning of play. That lead would swell to 10-1 by the end of the third, and there was no looking back. Multiple hit games by Anthony Scibetta, Joe Nowaczyk, Matt Schmidt, Connor Rehbaum and Ryan Gemmatti proved to be too much for the Cardinals to overcome. Scibetta's homerun in the second was the only round-tripper of the game.
The pitching of Rehbaum [3 innings, 1 run, 1 hit, 8 strikeouts] , Gemmatti [2 innings, 1 run 0 hits, 5 strikeouts] and Andrew Sadowy [ 1 inning 0 runs, 0 hits, 2 strikeouts ] tied up the Cardinal hitters all night enabling the Expos to swing at will after scoring early and often.
Wednesday, July 21, 2004 Expos 7 Orioles 2
The Expos advanced to Saturdays Championship round with a hard fought 7-2 win over the Orioles. Hot hitting and dominant pitching continue to carry the Expos. After piling up 15 hits against the Cardinals they came back with 13 hits in their game against the O's. Anthony Scibetta, Joe Nowaczyk, Connor Rehbaum, and Ryan Gemmatti now have back to back multiple hit games in the Double elimination playoff format.
Scibetta pitched brilliantly through the first three innings retiring the first 6 batters before allowing a two out run in the third, he would allow only one run on one hit while striking out 4 and walking one. Nowaczyk would finish the final three striking out 7 and giving up only one run on two hits and two walks.
Expos win Majors Championship
Congratulations to the Expos for their 3-0 performances in the playoffs and winning the league championship against a gritty group of Yankees who had to play 4 games in 5 days to reach the championship. The tough week was just too difficult for the Yanks [2-2 in the playoffs] to overcome. The Expos took a 7-0 lead in the top of the first sending 11 batters to the plate on their way to a 16-1 victory.
The 2004 Expos were: Anthony Scibetta, Andrew Sadowy, Joe Nowaczyk, Matt Scmidt, Connor Rehbaum, Ryan Gemmatti, Mark Macadlo, Anthony Iannone, Dylan Bajer, Tyler Bajer, Zach Thomas and Andrew Tatta who was injured for the season earlier this summer.

Like a rocket line drive from our T Ball Diamond 2006 is here. What a great fun year we had last season, and looking forward to 2006. A Great Big THANK YOU to all the parents and coaches who helped out last season. We will have 2 new diamonds behind Cleve Hill school this season. A new 60 foot Diamond and 1 new T Ball diamond in front of the concession stand. We moved the T Ball from Bkwik to behind the school. Over at the Bkwik Diamonds we have new dugouts for our sluggers with covered tops for the hot sunny days ahead of us this season. A lot of work has gone into making our and your league more safe and enjoyable for our children.
We are always looking for new faces and new energy for our baseball/softball league. Like I heard somewhere before "a new idea is a waste if its not heard". We are always looking for better ways to make our league a better place for our children to play in. That is and will be my goal since the first day I started to carry on the roll that past members have started for our children to enjoy the game of baseball/softball.
Just a small reminder that this is all Volunteer work. No one gets payed, just the enjoyment of seeing our children having fun. And that is what its all about,"HAVING FUN". Because its only a game. We are trying something new this season with our first registration at Dick's Sporting Goods store at the Galleria mall on February 4th starting at 11:00 am and running till 3:00 pm. We will have wall climbing and games for all our signups. Plus we are working on raffling off a new glove, bat and spikes for all who registers on this day at Dick's. We have new Teams this year. They are the Diamond Jaxx, The Raptors, The Sea Dogs and the Volcanoes.
One last word to everyone out there. I give you my word that I will work hard to make our league the best and enjoyable league for our children to play in. So I am looking forward to seeing all those smiles this season. Besides what can Brighten up a day better then seeing our children smile because they are enjoying themselves.
Thank you!

As a player from the Riptide said to Coach Patti Fermo.. that seems fair! As always it was a pleasure to spend the day at the diamond with Coach Fermo and her team.

8&U CH Force 2
The two 8&U CH softball teams started their season against each other Saturday, 5/12, after the Opening Day Parade, with the Brakettes coming out on top by a score of 7-2. Megan McIntosh, Madi Fermo and Desyre Lee made four great defensive outs for the Force, but it just wasn't enough to contain the hard-hitting Brakettes. The Brakettes Sara Chilberti recorded three unassisted outs at 1st base, which left the Force with five stranded base runners in just two innings. Great hitting to start off the year by the Brakettes Sara Chilberti, Katherine Skorka, Katie Netti, Haley Muelbauer, Alexa Catalino and Taylor Betz. Newcomers Susie Horton and Jordan Benton also got hits in their very first game! The Force had some great hitting of their own, with Devyn Stahl, Madi Fermo, Desyre Lee, Emily McIntosh, Lydia Miller, and Brynn Manke all going 2 for 3. Lauren Onisk recorded an RBI on her hit. Newcomers Faith and Savannah Meyers each got hits on their very first at bats. Great game girls. The Force has vowed to "get even" the next time they meet! Submitted by Coach Patti Fermo and Coach Greg Netti.

8&U CH Force 3 8&U SL#1 3
The 8&U CH Force ended their second game in a 3-3 tie with Southline #1. Once again, the Force got some great hitting from their rookies with Caremine Seemeuller going 2 for 2. Brynn Manke , Lydia Miller, Emily McIntosh and Devyn Stahl went 2 for 3 for the second game in a row. The Force also got hits from their wonder twins, Faith and Savannah Meyers, Desyre Lee and Madi Fermo. Now we just need to put all those hits together so we can score more runs! Madi Fermo made three unassisted outs at 1 st base, and also caught a ball from Lauren Onisk on the pitcher’s mound for an out. Brynn Manke got her first assist in the field when she stopped a hit up the middle on the mound and threw it to Megan McIntosh at 1 st . Another great game Force! Submitted by Coach Patti Fermo
Monday, 5/21
8U CH1 0 8U SS1 9
The Force started out a busy week of softball with a tough 9-0 loss against the Southside 1 Pirates. Lauren Onisk, Megan McIntosh and Madi Fermo went 2 for 2 at the plate. The Force also got some great hits from Emily McIntosh who went 2 for 3. Desyre Lee, Caremine Seemueller and Brynn Manke each got a hit. The Force was only inches from scoring a run, but a great defensive play by the Pirates caught our runner at home. Hard hit and well-placed balls stopped our team from recording any defensive outs.
May 22
10u CH #1 (15) vs Southline #1 (3) at Clevehill
10U CleveHill #1 started their season against Southline #1 last night with a 15-3 win. Jordyn Moochler started on the mound and had 6 strike outs in our first two innings... Emily Maziarz in her pitching debut, and struck out 4 in two innings. Mary Kate Mullen connected with Emily Tout for our first defensive out of the season and Tina Diblasio started us up with our first hit for the 07 season. Sabrina Alsonso had a great hit in the last inning to help finish up the game. Great start ladies!
May 23 8U CH1 8 8U NC2 13
NC2 defeated the Force 13-8. While it was another loss for the Force, it was definitely their best game of the season. The Force started off with 3 runs scored in the bottom of the first inning and were leading 4-2 going into the 5th inning, when NC2 scored 6 runs to take an 8-4 lead. The Force tied the game by scoring 4 of their own in the bottom of the 5th, but just couldn't stop their hard-hitting opponents who scored 5 more runs in the top of the 6th. The Force's Madi Fermo, Megan McIntosh, Desyre Lee and Devyn Stahl went 3 for 3 in the game. Lauren Onisk and Caremine Seemueller each had two hits, and Brynn Manke, Emily McIntosh and Paige Onisk each contributed with hits of their own. Desyre's double - by far the hardest hit ball all season - helped the Force's 5th inning rally. The Force also had some great defensive plays in the field. Megan McIntosh had two unassisted outs at 1st base and Madi Fermo caught two pop flies at pitcher's mound. Devyn Stahl made a great heads-up play at 3rd, tagging a base runner out, and Lauren Onisk took a grounder home from the pitchers' mound, denying NC2 another run. I think it was noticeable to all who watched the game that the girls are getting in the groove of things, both at the plate and in the field.
May 24
10U CH #1 won its second of the season 11-7 against Southside #1 Thursday night. Jordyn Moochler struck 9 out to help the team while Amanda Carl, her first time on the mound, struck out 2.

For some added insurance Hannah Chilberti had an RBI bringing Emily M. home. Mary Kate Mullen is amazing us all this year and went 3 for 4 tonight and is 5 for 7 in two games..keep it up!
