The team performed great at Myrtle Beach, going 4 – 1 before a defeat in the championship round. Highlights included offensive and defensive gems by Jay Reynolds, Matt Loomer’s bat and spectacular catches by he and Manny Bautista in the outfield…Tyler Buck’s closing job and work at first, Anthony Razzano’s hitting performance, great pitching contributions by Kyle Nocera, solid defense by Anthony at 3B along with Aditya (nice hit) and Mitch Pierce, Mike Coggeshall at SS, Mike Centerbar at 2nd and C, Pete Ambrose at C, Tyler and James Z. at 1st, and complete game pitching wins by Centerbar, Coggeshall and Navani who shines at Myrtle Beach tournaments (the curve and knuckle like 1000% humidity). The team placed in the top 5 (out of 16 teams) in the “turn two” skills competition with Aditya Dharampuriya, Manny Bautista, Matt Loomer, Pete Ambrose, Mitch Pierce and Varun Navani, and Mike Coggeshall tied for 3rd in the HR Derby.
It was a successful season by all. Final stats for the top four hitters includes Coggeshall with 74 hits/.425 avg., Twitchell – 69/.420, Razzano – 58/.394, and Loomer – 61/.383. Reynolds, Buck, Coggeshall, Navani, and Centerbar emerged with solid pitching performances…..the outfield of Manny Bautista, Jay Reynolds, Matt Loomer and Varun Navani made one great catch after another, exhibited great speed and range, and emerged as one of the best outfields around….the defense all around was very good. Thanks to all and have a great summer.
