The team had good defense tonight until the 6th inning, when they allowed Highlanders to score 3 times.

The 10 Year Old All Star team won their game Tuesday June 28th in exciting fashion!
The first run scored by Ryan Thompson really helped get rid of the jitters. The pitching tonight was really good and the bats woke up. Jordan Anagnostou pitched really well followed by Dillon Wright and Ryan Thompson with Brandon slamming the door shut. It was really good to see Spencer Green get a couple of great at bats. Jack Wangsness as usual was really solid at the plate. It was really good to see great hitting and smart aggressive base running. Brandon Gee crushed a ball in that broke the game open. There were also a couple of outstanding defensive plays. The 9-6-5 play at third from Spencer to Ryan to Brandon at third was textbook. Also the 26 play at home catching the runner stealing was great as well. Great team win.
The RCN 10 year olds play their next game against inter-city rival Highlanders Thursday the 30th at 5:30 pm on the North Field.

UPDATE on Little League Moratorium on Composite Bats!
Little League International has placed a moratorium on the use of composite bats in all Little League Divisions effective December 30th, 2010.
We recommend that you consult the Little League International site and read the details of this important safety ruling prior to purchasing any composite bat. Read the notice Here.
Note: The moratorium on composite bats only applies to composite-barreled bats. Bats that have only a metal/alloy in the barrel (and no other material, unless it is in the end cap of the bat) are not subject to the moratorium, regardless of the composition of the handle.
Little League International has provided a list of non composite barrel bats.
Read the the list:
