2009 11-12A Section 3 Tournament *Note: The New York State Association of District Administrators voted in 2008 to expand the 4 sections in the state to 6 sections for the 2009 LLB season. (District 14 had previously been associated with Section 2 until that time.) The move is expected to allow another 300 children to participate in section play. 2009 11-12A District 14 Tournament Cohoes Little League’s 11/12 year olds are the 2009 NY District 14 Little League Champions after their 3-1 victory over the 2008 NY District 14 9/10 Year Old Champions, East Greenbush-Castleton Little League. Ben Beaury kicked off a rally with a hard hit double that bounced off the right centerfield wall, then Kevin Napier followed with a single. And, it was A.J. Cioffi’s three-run home run in the bottom of the fourth inning and Kevin Napier’s excellent pitching that propelled the victory for Cohoes. East Greenbush-Castleton’s Zack DeThomas led off the sixth inning with a home run over the center field wall to bring the score to 3-1. HATS OFF to all players on both teams for having such a great season to bring them to this game and then for playing such a great Championship Game as both of them did! And, lest we not forget the Managers and Coaches for both teams on the great job they did with the children all season! Everyone one involved with both teams, Parents, Managers, Coachers and Spectators, also deserve a big “Thank You” for your continued support throughout the year!! Lansingburgh -The coaches would like to say Congratulations to the kids for your 2nd place finish in the Round Robin tournament - GREAT JOB GUYS!! We would also like to thank the players and the parents for their dedication this season. This is a special group of kids and they proved it with their play in both tournaments. We were beaten badly a few times but that never took our drive away. Each game we came out on the field ready to play no matter who the opponent. We played as a team and it pulled us thru some tight games in the round robin. The game with Brunswick at their field was a huge win for us and put us in the Championship Game. I wish all the players Good Luck wherever they play next year. I feel privileged to have coached you guys. Remember work hard, set goals and it can be achieved!! (Chuck Burkhart, Coach) 2009 10-11A District 14 Tournament Narrative for the District 14 10/11A Tournament between the East Greenbush-Castleton and Watervliet little leagues will be posted shortly. 2009 9/10A District 14 Tournament The East Greenbush-Castleton Little League 9/10 Year-Old All-Star team clinched the Little League District 14 (New York) title with a 5-0 win over a very strong Twin Town American team. The game, which was played at EGC’s Canaday Park in East Greenbush, was highlighted by some very impressive pitching and defense on both sides, including two double-plays being turned by EGC’s infield. The contest was very much a pitcher’s duel, with EGC scoring the game’s only run through the first five innings. But in the top of the sixth the very patient EGC hitters managed to plate four runs, giving them a 5-0 lead going into the bottom of the sixth. Twin Town mounted a threat in the bottom of the sixth, putting two runners on, but EGC’s gritty defense and strong pitching closed the deal retiring the final batter with a ground-out to the pitcher, leaving runners stranded on second and third. EGC went 8-1 in the tournament, outscoring their opponents 103 to 12, and their pitching proved to be dominant as evidenced by their four shutouts and two no-hitters. “I could not be prouder of the way these kids have come together as a team. They play unselfishly and with poise beyond their years”. (Carl Stewart, Manager) Twin Town American put together a successful run in the District 14 Championship Tournament in 2009 with all members contributing to the teams success. With a final record of 7-2, Twin Town American outscored its opponents 78-32 in the nine games played. Highlights included throwing 2 No-Hitters, turning 2 double plays in one game and scoring 9 runs in the 1st inning twice. Throughout the Tournament it was amazing how well the kids worked together and kept a positive attitude to reach the Championship game. It was truly a privilege and honor to coach these young men. (Steven Allard, Manager) Brunswick - I would like to say Im proud of them for all the hard work they put in to get this far. Great job boys. (Lance Maxon, Manager) Additional narrative for the District 14 9/10A Tournament will be posted shortly.
