Burrows 6, Westmoreland 2

— The Battle for Dollar General Supremacy

Burrows traveled deep into rival territory for what can only be described as the most fiercely contested retail-adjacent rivalry in youth baseball: the WestmoOriskany Dollar General Championship of the World. After a long haul and a short warmup, 13424 collected rent from 13323, 13340, and 13486—and brought the bag home.

Jordan D took the mound for Westmoreland and made quick work of the top of the first, striking out two and forcing a groundout from Jace B to close the inning. Jordan also led off offensively for Westmo with a single to right, but Jace B responded on the bump, striking out two and inducing a popup to keep the scoreboard clean.

Burrows broke through in the second. Parker V reached on a single, Wyatt F made it aboard on a dropped third strike, and walks to Brennan W and Jackson L forced in the game’s first run. Jace B returned to the mound and delivered a clean bottom of the second, striking out the side.

Momentum continued to build in the third. Walker L opened with a single, followed by a walk from Jace B. Parker V drove in both runners with a single to center. Westmoreland tightened up defensively to close the frame, but Jace B was dominant again, striking out the side on just 11 pitches.

Westmo returned the favor in the bottom of the fourth, sending down Burrows’ 7-8-9 hitters in order. On defense, Jackson L took over on the mound, inducing a groundout and striking out the next two batters to keep Westmo at bay.

In the fifth, Burrows opened the scoring again with a double from Walker L to the warning track. Jace B reached on an error that scored Walker, and Wyatt F followed with a double of his own to score Jace. Brennan W capped off the inning with a single to bring Wyatt across. Westmoreland answered with a triple from Padric M, who was brought home by a well-placed sacrifice fly, but Jackson L shut the door with two strikeouts to close the frame.

The sixth inning was quiet for Burrows, with Walker L’s groundout being the only offensive action. Westmo made one last push, but a heads-up play from Camille L and Wyatt F got the first out. Jackson followed with a strikeout and a comebacker to seal the game.

With the win, Burrows claims the prestigious (and fictional) WestmOriskany Dollar General Championship of the World trophy—at least until the 2026 season, or until Dollar General sponsors a rematch.

Capri 15, Sahls 13
Cold Bats, Hot Finish

In a game that felt more like a puddle classic than a summer showdown, the bats were as cold as the wind chill early on aside from Austen S’s 3-RBI triple to right in the 1st and a Jax T single for Sahls.

Things finally thawed out heading into the 3rd, with Sahls heating up just enough to rack up 6 hits and 3 runs from the top of the order, taking a 13–10 lead by the 4th. Capri’s offense stayed bundled up until Parker Z smacked a double to plate one run.

Sahls threatened with a smooth double from Hunter K, but the bats froze up again when it mattered most.

In the 5th, Capri apparently done with hibernation fired off 5 straight hits, 7 combined to snatch the lead. Emmett sparked it with a double, followed by clutch contact from Connor V, Calvin M, Delta C, Rocco M, Austen S, and Olivia B, who sealed it with a go-ahead RBI single.

Sahls couldn’t warm up their bats in time. Capri walks away with a gritty, frostbitten comeback win.

Rocco 52 pitches
Connor 32 pitches
Jax 45 pitches

Big thanks to the league board members for their dedication and hard work throughout the season and to the umpires who stood strong in the cold, wet humid weathers and kept the games moving.

Holland Farms 10, Cliff's 9

In game two of their series Cliff's was looking for a win with their ace Nick Day taking the mound. However, Holland Farms got off to a decent start scoring 3 runs in the top the first. Madden Smith led off with a single and Lucas Boyko's single brought in the first 2 runs. Jack Sydoriw got the start for Holland Farms giving up a single to Jace Phillips. Noah Capraro followed with an RBI single that scored Jace. Both pitchers settled in the 2nd and 3rd with neither team scoring and the only hits were from Kali Kraeger and Dmitri Boyko. The bats came alive in the 4th though. Holland Farms took a 5-1 lead after a single from Jack and RBI doubles off the bats of Augie Magnanti and Lucas. Cliff's would answer by being patient at the plate scoring 7 runs in the 4th to take an 8-5 lead. John Dunham took the pitching duties over from Nick and kept Holland Farms off the board in the 5th only giving up a hit to Dmitri. Cliff's added an insurance run in the 5th after drawing a walk and a single by Memphis Johnston. John struck out the 1st batter of the 6th and Cliff's was 2 outs away from a win.

Capri 3, D&B Allen 2

In a nail-biting showdown between D&B Allen and Capri, the game delivered everything a fan could want—gritty pitching, clutch hits, and a final-inning stand that sealed the deal. Greyson took the mound for D&B Allen and quickly found himself in trouble, loading the bases in the top of the first. But the young ace showed poise beyond his years, dialing in three strikeouts to escape the jam unscathed. Capri’s Parker Z matched him stride for stride, allowing a single run while collecting three strikeouts of his own in the bottom half. The second inning saw Capri threaten with two baserunners, but Greyson stayed sharp, retiring the next three in order. His dominance on the hill underscored just how far he’s come this season.

Capri finally broke through in the top of the third, when Olivia B drove in a run with a well-placed infield RBI to tie the game at 1. D&B Allen wasted no time regaining the lead in the bottom half. Leo knocked in Legend, putting D&B back on top 2–1. The momentum swung again in the fourth. Capri's Josiah S crossed home on an RBI from Rocco M, knotting the game at 2. D&B’s Everett C flashed the leather at third, recording two key outs and showing the instincts of a seasoned vet. D&B Allen’s offense, however, went quiet in the bottom half. The top of the fifth proved decisive. Austen ripped a leadoff triple and Emmett G followed with a fielder’s choice RBI, giving Capri their first lead of the game at 3–2. D&B Allen wasn't done. Nick A sparked a rally with a sharp single, and Everett followed with a grounder to short that was mishandled by Austen, allowing Nick to reach third. With two outs, D&B was unable to drive in the tying run. Capri held on for the narrow 3-2 win.

Holland Farms 7, Burrows Trucking 21

It was a classic Little League showdown: Holland Farms, purveyors of legendary half moon cookies and potato salad that could probably broker world peace, squaring off against Burrows Trucking—a team so versatile they could grade your driveway, dig your pond, haul your heavy equipment, and still make it in time for first pitch. If Holland Farms brought the flavor, Burrows brought the firepower… and probably a backhoe, just in case a base needed excavating.

Jackson L took the mound for Burrows and opened the game by retiring Madden S on a comebacker. Jack S reached after being hit by a pitch and was brought home on a towering double by Kali K. A series of walks pushed across another run for Holland Farms before Burrows ended the threat. In response, Burrows put together an offensive surge in the bottom half of the inning, stringing together 10 hits. Notable contributions came from Camille L, Parker V (single and triple), Wyatt F (double and single), Brennan W, Jude O, Walker L, and Jace B (double).

Holland Farms answered back in the second with five runs. Madden S reached on an infield error and later scored as Jack S, Kali K (HBP), Lucas B, and Augie M each reached base and crossed the plate. The Holland Farms defense held strong in the bottom of the second, limiting Burrows to just two hits—one each from Walker L and Brennan W.

Kali K(2-3) continued her strong day at the plate in the third with her second hit of the game, but that would be the only offense for Holland Farms in the inning. Burrows responded with another explosive frame, bringing home 11 runs. Camille L sparked the rally with a single to right, followed by a string of hits from Parker V(3-4), Wyatt F (4-4), Brennan W (3-3), Jude O (2-3), Walker L (3-4), and Jace B(2-3)

Jace B came in to close the game for Burrows, recording two strikeouts to seal the win.

Zeina's 10, Capri 11

On this very sloppy, cold and wet Saturday morning, Zeina's got a jump on Capri pitching earlier and took a quick 10-7 lead after 2 innings. Easton T was the highlight for Ziena's. Swinging a smooth bat and collecting 3 RBI's. Austen S and Josiah S brought their bats to make contact and excitement during live pitching. Each picking up a double and a single in first 2 innings.
3rd inning Blue Cannon, hurler of bewildering intent and erratic delivery. Zeina's went 3up, 3down in the 3rd and 4th due to Blue Cannon un-cooperations. After a 1-2-3 3rd inning, Capri made the push for runs. Playing from behind was not typical for them this season. Austen led off with single and middle of lineup responded. All singles but they all added up to plate 4 runs and finally take the lead. Zeina's threaten in the 5th. Solid singles by Easton and Antonella were not enough to bring any runs home for the tie.

Zeina's:
Easton had a great game going 3-for-3 with a walk.
He also pitched the 1st inning, allowing 2 hits, 3 runs and striking out 3.

Capri:

Burrows 13, Cliffs 3

Rain, Chill, and Meatballs at Field 1

On a cool and rainy May evening, Cliffs hosted Burrows on Field 1 — where Burrows seemed to be running a “BOGO” special on meatballs. For the second game in a row, opposing teams took advantage, sending two home runs out of the yard, courtesy of Burrows’ generosity.

Radley S took the mound for Cliffs. Walker L led off with a single to left, followed by a base hit up the middle from Camille L that brought him home. Wyatt F doubled to score Camille, and Jackson L grounded to short to bring in the third run of the inning.

Jace B started on the mound for Burrows, collecting 9 strikeouts on the day. In the bottom of the first, Jace P laid down a bunt and eventually came around to score on an inside-the-park home run, helped by an overthrow that rolled into the right field corner. Memphis J worked a walk, and Nash J followed with a single. As Memphis tried to stretch it to third, Camille L came up firing from center and gunned the lead runner down with a strike to third.

Nick D stepped up next and obliterated the third pitch he saw sending it clear over the left-field fence and across Oriskany Creek. The two-run blast marked the second homer Burrows has given up in as many games and accounted for the final runs of the night for Cliffs.

Lucas R and Walker L opened the second for Burrows with walks and were both brought home by a double from Camille L. Parker V nearly extended the rally, but AJ P tracked down a towering fly in deep right to end the inning. Trenton T provided the only action for Cliffs in the second with a single but was left stranded after two more Ks by Jace B.

Austin C kicked off the third with a single to left. Walks to Lucas R, Walker L, and Jace B loaded the bases, and Camille L cleared them with a one-hopper to the fence.

Cliffs showed signs of life with another missile off the bat of Nick D for a double, followed by a single from Nash J, but once again, Jace B shut it down with two more strikeouts.

In the fourth, Jackson L and Austin C reached on walks, setting up Brennan W who ripped a triple to left-center to bring them both home. Jace B finished his complete game with two more strikeouts, capping off a strong day on the mound.

Pitch Counts:
Burrows: Jace B – 66 pitches

D&B Allen 9, Capri 7

The game started with live pitching and plenty of generosity. Capri pitching walked in 4 runs in the 1st and 5 in 2nd. DB Allen walked in 4 in 1st inning. Everett closed out the 2nd inning with 3 strikeouts. Legend and Grayson managed to put the bat on the ball during D&B Allen’s turn.

Once the Blue Cannon took over in inning 3, things calmed down. D&B Allen picked up a couple doubles (Legend and Everett) and singles (Conor and Lincoln S), but the hits were too spread out to make much noise.

Capri added a run in the 3rd with a solid RBI double from Parker Z. The real excitement came in the bottom of the 5th. Declan L. knocked in 2 runs, and Parker followed with his second double of the game. But just as the comeback started cooking, it ended with a double play on the bases.

Capri’s bats came alive late, but D&B Allen escaped with the win and probably a sigh of relief.

Big thanks to all the players for their effort, the coaches for their guidance, the league for organizing a great season, and the fans for their constant support. See you at the next one!

Oriskany’s 2025 opener saw Burrows take on Cliffs. Cliffs struck first in the top of the 1st inning, with singles from Trenton K. and Nash J. Radley S. reached second on an error, bringing in two runs for Cliffs. Jackson Lamonica settled in quickly after that, while Nick Day retired the Burrows side in order in the bottom of the 1st. Jackson L. threw a quick 1-2-3 top of the 2nd, striking out two. Burrows caught a runner stealing to prevent a scoring threat. Burrows came alive in the bottom half, putting up 9 runs. Jace B., Parker V., Jackson L., and Walker L. all ripped doubles, while Lucas, Jude and Wyatt added singles. Parker V. capped the inning with an inside-the-park home run during his second at-bat of the frame. The top of the 3rd saw Jackson L. notch two more strikeouts to keep Cliffs quiet. Nick Day responded with three strikeouts of his own. Jackson L. kept dealing in the 4th, collecting three more Ks. Walker L. led off the bottom half with a triple, and Camille knocked him in with a single to right-center. Jace B. added another RBI with a double to right field.
Jace B. closed things out in the 5th with an efficient 11-pitch, 3-strikeout inning. Austin C. walked, stole second and third, then scored the final run of the game on a wild pitch.
