The South Shore Indians with a team composed of 9 players who are 14 through 17 year's old had a very successful trip to Cooperstown. They won the first game 5 -4 with a dramatic relay play from the outfield to home plate for the 3rd out in the seventh inning to get the win. This was after scoring the go ahead run in the bottom of the 6th. Against a 17 and 18 year old team they played a very competitive game before losing 7 -4. The coaches and players did us proud.
