Under a sunny sky at Hersey the only thing brighter than the sun was the new season enthusiam of every player. Both teams played stong behind the starting pitching of Stephen Townsend (75 pitches) for Allied and Reese Linton (42 pitches) for Turner. Joshua Cassino and Ben Turner boosted the Turner offense early with hard hit balls and were helped by Christian Boretti and Brendan O'Connor with nice drives to the outfield in the later innings. Nice hitting by Allied's Townsends kept them in the game early on. Both teams played solid defense and had several nice plays in the field. After 3 strong innings by Reese, Ben Turner (39 pitches) stepped in to pitch the last three innings for Turner. Great effort by the Allied boys and their other pitchers: Finn Powell (67 pitches), Sam Sullivan (11 pitches) and Nathan Townsend (57 pitches).

What a well played game played by two good teams looking for their first win despite the lopsided score. N'tierty's Luke McInnis hooked up with George Reader to make a picture perfect throw to the plate to rob Allied of their first run. Allied's Stephen Townsend towered a huge triple in the second. Despite good pitching by N'tierty, Allied's bats came alive. Rich McGinn and his coaches should be commended for giving everyone a shot in the infield and pitching and really mixing it up regardless of winning or losing which is what the league should be all about. Pitchers for Allied: Finn Powell (62) and Sam Sullivan (32). For N'tierty: Leary (48) Chris Flanders (54) and George Reader (31). Great game for a great group of kids for both sides.

A great game played by two good teams. The game was a lot closer than the score indicates. Lots of great hitting including a huge homer from Allied's Stephen Townsend and great fielding including a dramatic behind the back catch by Hedlund's shortstop Oliver Murray-Brown and solid catching behind the plate by Hedlund's John Lastoria. Both teams were hitting machines despite good pitching by Hedlund's Drew Roland(62) and Andrew Spaziani(61) as well as Allied's Finn Powell(30), Conall Mannion(49), and Nathan Townsend(60). All the kids had a lot of fun and played some great ball.

What a barn burner at Hersey today between two good teams. Carousel came out swinging in the 1st with 4 runs and 3 in the 2nd to take a commanding lead with some spectacular defense including 2 extra base denying catches in centerfield by Mike Saleski. Allied came back in the third with 8 runs including a homer from Finn Powell and a triple off the bat of Nathan Townsend. Great pitching by Carousel's Colin McDonald(36), Pat McGaghan made a fine debut(17), and Allied's pitchers were great with Greg Patrolia (54), Stephen Townsend(55), and Finn Powell(24). Frank Forbes and his coaches did a great job giving everyone a shot at pitching and playing the infield. A exciting game and fun for all.

The score doesn't reflect how close this game was for the first four innings. Reebok's Brett Tivnan had a great 2 run homer and Allied's Nathan Towsend had a nice homer for Allied. Allied's bats came alive in the 5th despite great pitching by Wilson Brown(80), Joe Lindsay(60), and Justin Benoit(29). Great Pitching by Finn Powell(30) and Nathan Townsend(50) kept Reebok's very good batters at bay. Joe Lindsay and his coaches did a nice job keeping Reebok close for 4 innings.

Matt Curran and his coaches did a nice job with a great group of players.

The game was much tighter than the score indicates. Tied through the 4th 3-3 with TN hits by Will Roe, Brendan Tedeschi, M. Calvi, and A. Irvin.

A marathon...good game.

All players should feel proud of their efforts in this game. Excellent pitching, base running, defense and hitting were the order of the day. W.G. jumped to a 2-0 lead on rbi singles by Andrew Kieth and Max Pomroy. Allied Mortgage countered with hits by the Townsend brothers, Stanwood and Petrolia for a 4-2 lead. It seemed as though every play mattered in this a game that could have gone either way. In the top of the sixth with the bases loaded and two outs Luke Pomroy hit a single to knock in a run that tied the game 4-4. This brought up Liam Richmond who hit a ball that seemed like it would roll all the way to Jackson Square for a grand slam.
At the end of the game Allied Home Mortgage had a pizza party where laughter and congratulations on a great season were plentiful. Manager Greg Sullivan and his coaches taught their players baseball skills (7-4 season) and it was evident they taught the players many other skills as well.
