Northeast Expos 10U win their 4th straight championship!! This time at Philadelphia Baseball Tournaments. They improved to 17-0 on the season!
In the Semi-Final, the Expos pulled away for a 9-5 win over Nether Swarthmore. To get the Expos on the board, Dillon Kivak hit a 2-run bomb in the bottom of the 1st inning. After Swarthmore climbed back into it, and the game tied at 4-4, the Expos broke it open in the bottom of the 4th, and scored 5 runs in the inning with 2 outs. This rally was sparked by Frankie Roman’s 2-RBI double that made it 6-4, and the Expos didn’t let up adding 3 more runs in the 2 out rally. Frankie, Aiden Bryk, Kivak, and Patrick Roman all had 2 hits apiece, with Vinny Cocco adding a hit as well.
Nate Lewis started on the mound, and Chase Stitzer picked up the win in relief. Both pitchers combined for 9 strikeouts.
In the Championship Game, the Expos defeated the Chester County Bobcats by a score of 11-3 in 5 innings. Aiden Bryk pitched brilliantly! He threw all 5 innings, only giving up 2 hits, adding 5 K’s, and only surrendering 1 walk.
The Expos racked up 14 hits. Kellen Bradshaw led the hot bats, going 3 for 3. Bryk and Kivak both had monster blasts, hitting their 3rd and 5th home runs of the season respectively. Avery Munster, Frankie Roman, Bryk, and Kivak had multiple hits. Lewis, Patrick Roman, and Parker McAndrew added hits.
The Expos spring season will wrap up next weekend in Aberdeen, MD at The Ripken Experience.
