Boys U13

Knights 2, Avon 0 – Jeff Spencer and Anthony Gruce drove in runs to lead the Newtown Knights to a 2-0 win over Avon in Connecticut Babe Ruth League action at Walnut Tree Field. Tyler Edwards led off the bottom of the first with a single and Jeff DiNicola followed with a walk and both eventually came around to score. That was all the scoring the Knight’s pitching staff would need as Adam Mannino, Mike Coates, DiNicola and Spencer allowed only two hits. The Newtown defense was sharp including nice fielding plays by brothers Dale and Nick Neves in the outfield and consistent play at shortstop by Coates.
