Oriskany Gray 9, Oriskany Maroon 4

The minor league all star game was a fun battle tonight to cap off a competitive season for our youngsters.

The Maroon squad struck first taking a 2 run lead after a couple of walks and back to back singles from Joe Camerota and and Jace Bewick. The Oriskany gray team starting pitcher Jack Sydoriw settled in nicely and struck out 3 of the next 4 batters to work out of a bases loaded situation. Jack had 5 Ks on the day. Jace Bewick took the mound for the Maroon team and held his opponents scoreless the first inning recording 3 Ks and leaving a couple baserunners stranded.

In the 2nd inning the maroon teams top of the order threatened after loading the bases with Joe and Jace getting hits but defense saved the gray squad. SP Jack fielded a ball hit by Jackson Lamonica and threw over to Wyatt Fairbrother for the putout to strand the runners. Jace took the mound for the second inning and struck out the first 2 batters but ran into some trouble with a couple walks and a hit batsman which loaded the bases. Jace hit his pitch limit so Quintin LoRusso had to come in for middle relief. Quintin was helped out of a bases loaded jam when on an 0-2 count Wyatt Fairbrother ripped one but was robbed by Camille Looney at 2B. Camille snagged the hard hit ball and got the force out to end the inning. Wyatt must have been fired up by this robbery because he came to the mound and stuck out 3 of 4 batters the next inning. The gray team took the lead and got 5 runs the next inning off some walks and a hit batsman as well as an RBI single from Jack Sydoriw. Austin Carver also singled that inning. Quintin recorded 1 strikeout that inning for the maroon team.

The maroon team answered back with base hits from Quintin, Jace (3 hits today), Jackson Lamonica and Kenzlee Camerota. Wyatt got a big bases loaded strikeout and some defensive help from Gabe Falero at 1B to limit the maroon team to 2 runs that inning.

Joe Camerota came on to pitch for the second half of the game for the maroon team. Jace Bewick at 1B barely beat Austin Carver to the bag for out 1. Maddalena Pettinelli singled that inning but 2 Ks from Joe kept the gray team off the board.

In the 5th inning the maroon squad got a leadoff single from Radley Shaver. Radley advanced to second when Quintin hit one back to the pitcher (now Gabe Falero) who made a nice play for the out at first. Gabe also recorded a strikeout that inning. With Radley in scoring position Joe Camerota hit a line drive but was robbed of an extra base hit and an RBI on an excellent catch by Jack Sydoriw at SS.

The gray teams bats came alive in the 5th with hits from Kali Kraeger, Wyatt, Austin, and Hunter Albright. Wyatt's hit was a 2 rbi triple and Hunters was an RBI double. Joe made a nice play in the field for a putout at 1B to end the damage.

The maroon team tried to rally in the last inning with hits from Jackson and Dmitri Boyko but Gabe closed the game out with back to back strikeouts.

The crowd was packed tonight and enjoyed a game that had a lot of action on both sides of the ball.

D&B Allen 1, Capri 5

Capri Pizza finished the season on a high note with a nice win tonight over DB Allen. Nash Johnston did the pitching for Capri recording 6 Ks and kept DB off the scoreboard. Nash struck out the side in the first and worked out of a bases loaded jam in the second inning.

Radley Shaver pitched a great first inning for DB Allen striking out 3 and working out of trouble with a couple of base runners on. Kali Kraeger pitched in relief in the second inning and got 2 big strikeouts to end her minor league pitching career on a high note. Maddalena Pettinelli came on to make her pitching debut and battled fearlessly in a tough situation. Relief pitchers Quintin LoRusso and Austin Carver attempted to keep Capri off the board but could not locate the zone for a 3rd strike on multiple occasions. Capri held a 5-0 lead and wouldn't look back.

Defense took over in the next couple of innings. Capri got baserunners in the 3rd with back to back singles from Mason Powers and Nash but 3B Kali Kraeger continued her brick wall defense by fielding a Rocko Selmon grounder and touching 3rd for the the final out of the inning. In the 4th inning Sal Smaldon for DB Allen led off with a single. However, Nash Johnston now at SS made 3 unassisted putouts on ground balls hit by John “Rambo” Chase, Austin Carver, and Quintin.

Capri threatened in the bottom of the 4th when Courtney Van Patten, Dimitri Boyko and Memphis Johnston had consecutive hits but they were unable
to get any runs home.

In their final chance at a comeback DB Allen got consecutive 5th inning singles from Kali, Jace Bewick, Maddalena and Royce Noel singled to drive in a run. However the comeback attempt fell short there.

Congratulations to Capri for battling all season and having their hard work pay off at the end of the year. Congratulations to DB Allen for a season with more highs than lows and a season to be proud of.

Holland Farms 15, Fire Department 5

Our first game on Championship Saturday was between our expansion team Holland Farms and the defending league champions Fire Department. All of their previous games against each other this season were decided by a single run. Holland Farms jumped out to an early 6-0 lead in the first on 6 consecutive hits. Nathan Kronafel and Cohen Kraeger got things going with a pair of doubles. Callan Tarantino followed with a single, Landon Pavia hit a double, Jayden Schultz singled, and Camryn LoRusso doubled to right field. That's when Fire Department's starter Nick Citriniti settled down recording three strikeouts and only gave up a single to Natalino Orcutt. Nick was throwing hard but the top of the Holland Farms lineup had their timing set to him. Fire Department drew a couple walks that were followed by a single from Nick to score 2 runs. With two runners on and 2 outs Nolan Opperman hit a hard grounder down the 1st base line. Normally, a hit like this would have scored those two runs but the Holland Farms 1st baseman Landon Pavia made an incredible diving catch to snag the ball and make the force out at 1st to end the inning. Cohen was hit by a pitch to start the 2nd and Callan drew a walk. Darin Mimassi came in to pitch and a single by Landon and a double from Jayden would make the score 9-2. Callan walked one and struck out one in the 2nd before giving the ball to Landon to take over on the mound. Darin Mimassi singled to score a run and Fire Department added another before the inning was complete. Holland Farms again scored 3 in the 3rd. Natahan and Cohen starting things off with a pair of singles. Jayden also hit a single but Darin would strike out three to end the inning. Fire Department was able to get one more run across the plate in the 3rd before the Holland Farms defense recorded 3 putouts. The score was 12-5 heading into the 4th but once again Fire Department had to face the top of the Holland Farms lineup. Nathan doubled to start the inning. Callan and Landon singled, Jayden doubled, and Camryn got her 2nd hit of the game. Darin struck out the next two batters but Holland Farms held a 10 run lead going into the bottom of the 4th. Fire Department would have to score a run to extend the game. Fire Department was in a good position to get a run as their 2 hitter was leading off. However, Landon was able to get a quick 1-3 ground out. That was followed by a ground out to Cohen who was filling in at second base. Landon took that defensive momentum and was able to get a strikeout to end the game. Holland Farms recorded an amazing 17 hits in a 4 inning game. Jayden hit a perfect 4-for-4 and Landon was 3-for-3 at the plate. Callan and Landon combined for a 2-hitter. Nick and Darin struck out 12 for Fire Department. Congratulations to our major league champions Holland Farms. Both teams provided us with exciting baseball all season long.

Sahls 3, DB Allen 2

Sahls won the minor league championship tonight by defeating their fiercest competitor DB Allen this afternoon. As has been the pattern, these teams played a close 1 run game that came down to the wire.

Sahls took an early 3-0 lead off some walks and a hit batsman but DB Allen starting pitcher Jace Bewick settled in and found the strike zone with the bases loaded recording a key strikeout. Jace then helped his own cause by snagging an infield pop fly hit by Colton Huey and touching second base for the inning ending double play.

As usual DB Allens top of the order came out swinging on the starting pitcher. A 2 out triple from Jace got the crown enthused. Maddalena Pettinelli singled to drive in Jace and Austin Carvers RBI single brought the game to 3-2. Starting pitcher Joseph Camerota recorded his 3rd K of the inning to keep the score as is. Joseph had 6 Ks on the day.

In the second inning Jace recorded 2 more strikeouts before running out of pitches on the day. Relief pitcher Quintin LoRusso came on to record a strikeout to keep the game within a run.

In the 3rd inning both teams got baserunners but no runs. Joseph had an infield single for Sahls and Quintin had a double for DB that inning. The 4th inning was similar as each team got 1 baserunner on a hit from Wyatt Fairbrother (Sahls) and a double from Austin Carver (DB Allen).

DB Allen had a chance in the bottom of the 5th when John “Rambo” Chase and Royce Noel each had hard hit balls snagged by Joseph at SS who also followed with accurate throws to Wyatt at 1B.

Sahls and DB Allen split the season series 2-2 with each game being an exciting one and 3 of them being 1 run games. Congratulations to Sahls on their championship and to DB Allen who look to finish strong on Monday night in their season finale.

Grazs 14, DB Allen 8 (extra innings)

For the second time this season Graz’s and DB Allen needed extra innings to get a final result. DB Allen was able to escape the top of the first inning without any runs allowed. Jace Bewick struck out 2 batters in the 1st inning and the 3rd out was recorded when Braeden Miner’s infield hit struck a base runner. Gabe Falero took the hill for Graz’s and was throwing plenty of strikes but DB Allen’s hitters were up to the challenge. Quintin LoRusso singled, Jace Bewick doubled and back to back singles from Austin Carver and Radley Shaver allowed DB Allen to jump out to a 3 run lead after 1. Gabe recorded 3 Ks in the inning. DB Allen took the field and Jace then struck out 3 batters the next inning (5 Ks on the day) to keep the Graz’s bats quiet. Gabe came out firing strikes in the bottom of the 2nd and struck out the first 2 batters. However with 2 outs, DB Allen’s bats got hot when Quintin, Kali, and Jace had consecutive hits and tacked on another run. Relief pitcher Jack Sydoriw was able to shut down the rally recording a bases loaded strikeout to end the inning.

Graz’s took the lead with a 4 run 3rd inning with base hits from Camille Looney, Jack Sydoriw, Braeden Minor and Jackson Lamonica and doubles from Gabe and Hunter Albright. With runners on the corners and 2 outs Jake Charles hit a hard ground ball but a defensive play by SS Quintin ended the inning without further scoring. In the bottom of the 3rd Austin Carver and Radley Shaver led off with back to back singles. John “Rambo” Chase stepped up to the plate and a hard hit ball down the line tied the game and brought Radley to 3rd. Royce Noel singled to bring Radley home. Kalia Liddy singled to load the bases. Quintin LoRusso singled to drive in a run but no more runs were produced that inning. Both teams were then held scoreless in the 4th.

Graz’s was down 3 runs in the last inning but the top of the ordered proved up to the challenge with 6 consecutive hits coming from Camille, Jack, Gabe, Jackson (triple), Hunter, and Braeden (2B). Jackson’s triple tied the game and Hunter’s single gave Graz’s a 1 run lead. DB Allen would have to respond in the bottom of the 5th. After the first 2 batters struck out, things were looking bleak but Royce Noel’s 2 out single got things started for DB Allen. Kalia Liddy then advanced Royce over to 3rd with an infield hit and an overthrow into the outfield as well as some aggressive heads up base running from Royce. Quintin’s 4th hit of the day tied the game for DB Allen. On the next at bat, Kali Kraeger threatened to end the game but stout defense from Gabe and Jack Sydoriw kept the game tied.

In the extra inning it was all Graz’s who put up 6 runs on 9 hits. Runs were produced by hits from Dylan Colon, Walker Looney, Camille, Jack Sydoriw, Jackson Lamonica, Hunter Albright, Braeden Miner, Declan Ciotti and a fielder’s choice from Jake Charles. More runs would have been added if not for the brick wall defense of Kali Kraeger at 3B who prevented multiple well hit balls from going to the outfield. In the bottom of the extra frame Maddalena Pettinelli doubled and Austin Carver singled but a nice play from Camille at 2B prevented John “Rambo” Chase from extending the game further.

This was a wonderfully played minor league game from both teams who played each other in thrilling fashion all 4 times this season. Coaches and players for both teams all walked off the field proud of each teams efforts.

Sahl's Glass 6, DB Allen 7

A tough Sahls glass team battled with a feisty DB Allen team on this hot May afternoon. Austin Carver made his minor league pitching debut for DB Allen while seasoned veteran Wyatt Fairbrother took the mound for Sahls Glass.
Sahls struck first with a 5 run top of the first highlighted by RBI singles from Wyatt and Robert West. In the bottom of the first Kali Kraeger singled to get DB going and Jace Bewick hit an RBI double to get DB on the board. Wyatt was able to strike out 3 batters that inning to keep DB Allen from scoring further.
In the second inning Austin struck out the lead off batter (2nd K for Austin on the day) before running out of pitches for the day. Quintin LoRusso came on in relief and Austin moved to center field immediately making an impact there when he fielded a pop fly from Joseph Camerota and touched second base. With runners on the corners Quintin recorded a strikeout to keep Sahls off the board and keep the game within striking distance. Wyatt then struck 3 more batters out (6 Ks on the day) keeping Sahls in the drivers seat going into the the 3rd inning.
Wyatts double and another Robert West single in the 3rd had Sahls threatening to pull away but no runs were scored. DB Allen tacked on another run in the 3rd when a Kali triple, Jace Bewick single, and a Maddalena Pettinelli double got the game closer for DB Allen.
Sahls was held scoreless in the top of the 4th and DB Allen grabbed their bats down 5-2. Nora Gleason came out swinging with a leadoff double.

Sahls would not go away quietly however. A leadoff home run from Joseph Camerota and hits from Douglas Lacombe and Robert West made this a nail biter but these efforts were unfortunately not enough for Sahls. The game would end 7-6 in favor of DB Allen. Wyatt Fairbrother started on the mound for Sahls and Joe pitched in relief.

The temperature was hot Saturday morning and so were the bats in our opener between Cliff's and Holland Farms. Cliff's took advantage of what would have been an inning ending dropped 3rd strike play to end up scoring 5 runs on singles from Landon Christopher and Tenton Pryor.
