Memorial Day Tournament

Despite losing all four games, the boys played very well and hopefully took home a lot of positives. Excellent pitching from Zach Egan, Emil Pape, Eric Stone, Jimmy Milano, James DiMartino and Chris Morgan and some very nice defensive work all around.

Leading the offense were James DiMartino (.500 avg. for the tournament), Eric Stone (.500 avg. with 4 runs scored), Elijah Rustin (.571 avg. with 3 runs scored) and James Carroll (.556 OBP and 1 run scored).

The Coach Carroll Player of the Tournament was James DiMartino, who continued his hot hitting, played well in the outfield, 3rd base and continued to strike fear into the hearts of all would be base stealers behind the plate.
