Storm Sluggers Compete

The Newtown Storm 11U travel baseball team played hard in three games last week, using solid team baseball for two wins and a tie. Game highlights are as follows:

Storm 9, Wilton 7: Dillon Larkin, Jack Heinlein, and Bobby Ward each had two hits to lead the Storm.  In the field, Matt Brantl played great at catcher, and Tim Davis and Jack Hannan made some solid plays.

Storm 5, Monroe 1: After losing to Monroe earlier in the season the Storm pitched, hit, and fielded well to earn a win over Monroe. Jack Heinlein had a bases-clearing double in the third inning, Jackson Dooley mad a great catch at second for a force-out in the sixth inning, and Ryan Mailloux closed the game for his second save in two games. Dillon Larkin, Jack Heinlein, and Matt Brantl also pitched well.

Storm 6, Danbury 6: The Storm fell behind 6-0 but battled back for an extra-inning tie. Doug Carriero belted a sixth-inning triple to right field and scored on a throwing error to bring in the tying run. Jeremy Larkin had two hits and Matt Sadowski and Jack Hannan also had key hits in this strong Storm comeback.
