Big win for the West Hartford 9U Warriors this morning! The Warriors defeated Beth-Wood 9-5 in the first game of the best of 3 Cal Ripken district finals. The team overcame a two run deficit in the bottom of the 2nd and never looked back....
The offense was led by Christian Pedro (2 hits, 2 runs), Drew Seidman (2 hits), Teddy Keegan (2 hits), and Eli Salomons (1 hit, BB, 2 runs). Christian also pitched three solid innings in relief to close out the game. The play of the day came from Connor Ferguson who made a diving grab on a line drive to second base to make the second out of the 6th inning.

West Hartford 15 Beth-Wood 4
Congratulations to the West Hartford 9U Warriors! With their 15-4 victory over Beth-Wood this morning they were crowned Cal Ripken district champions and will move on to the state tournament in three weeks.
Warriors fans sat on the edge of their seats through the first four innings as the team was down 2-1 and the bats (and the boys) appeared to be a little sleepy. But in the top of the fifth the bats came alive and the Warriors scored seven runs in each of the fifth and the sixth innings to overwhelm Beth-Wood and sew up the district championship.
The district tournament was truly a team effort, with every player making a significant contribution along the way. Today’s offensive top performers included Jack Kennedy (2 hits, 2 walks, 2 runs), Bobby LaChance (2 hits, 1 walk, 3 runs), and Teddy Keegan (1 hit, 3 walks, 2 runs). On the mound, Drew Seidman pitched 4 strong innings and Mitch Baboff pitched a perfect sixth to wrap up the championship.
Awesome job Warriors! The team takes it’s 6-0 record into local play which will resume on Tuesday with a game against Simsbury in West Hartford.

Christian Pedro got the win with two scoreless innings to start the game and Mitch Baboff and Seth Ehrlich brought it home.
Top performers on offense for the Warriors were Teddy Keegan (1 hit, 2 walks, 3 runs) and Eli Salomons (2-run double, 2 walks). Newcomer Shane Bradley walked on all 3 trips to the plate.

Pirate relievers Max Leyland (3 k's) and Peter Simplicio (2 k's) shut down the A's offense over the final three innings, and both worked themselves out bases loaded jams without giving up a run. The Pirate's infield also turned a nice double play to end the fifth. The Pirate's bats rallied in the 4th, with a big 5 run inning, with John Ledwith, George Andrews, and Simplicio all delivering key hits and scoring runs (also scoring were Dylan Jackson and Andrew Mazzatto). A's closer Liam Langan doused the Pirate's comeback as he fire-balled his way through a 1-2-3 fifth and sixth innings, notching 5 straight strikeouts.
