We hope you all can make it.

In a battle between 2 very even teams, the #10 Rockland Tigers scored 2 runs in the 8th inning to defeat #7 John Bapst, 3-1 in a Class B East preliminary playoff game held Tuesday at the Winkin Complex.
The Crusaders were down 1-0 until the bottom of the 7th inning when Chase Huckstein led off the inning with a single. After Miles Gagnon walked and then was called out later at first base, Ryan Carr singled Huckstein home to tie the game at 1. In the extra inning, Beal singled and scored on a triple by Morrill that Derek Smith dove for and nearly caught. Morrill scored on a well-executed 'suicide squeeze' play to make it 3-1.
Nick Pooler was able to single in bottom half of the 8th but was left stranded.
Chris Hammond had another outstanding performance going all 8 innings on the mound, giving up 5 hits, and striking out 6.
Offensively for JB: Pooler was 2 for 3 with a sacrifice bunt. Casey Hull singled, Bill Wetherbee singled, Chase Huckstein singled and scored, Miles Gagnon had a single, and Ryan Carr was 2 for 3 with the only rbi for JB.
John Bapst ends their season with a very respectable 10-6-1 record.
Best of luck to all our seniors (Nick Pooler, Tyler Chamberlain, Miles Gagnon, Derek Smith, Chase Huckstein, Casey Hull, Matt Duplisea, Doug Dieuveuil, and Luke Cunningham) in the future!

The John Bapst Crusaders defeated the Central Red Devils on Tuesday afternoon, 7-3.
It was JB's 10th win on the season to go with 5 losses and a tie.
Chris Hammond was the winning pitcher, going 7 innings, giving up 6 hits, walking one, and striking out 8. Bapst will now wait for the final Heal Points to be calculated to see who and where they play next. The first round of playoff games begin on June 9.
Offensively for Bapst: Nick Pooler had 2 walks, Matt Duplisea walked and singled in a run.
Casey Hull was 1 for 5 with a run scored and 2 stolen bases. Chase Huckstein had a big day going 3 for 4 with 2 triples, 2 runs scored and an rbi. Miles Gagnon had 2 sacrifice flies for 2 rbi's, walked and scored. Ryan Carr was 1 for 3 with a walk, stolen base, and run scored. Chris Hammond was 2 for 4 with a double, rbi, and scored twice (one with JMcB as pinch runner). Adam Leadbetter walked 3 times on the day also. Derek Smith had the catch of the game on a sinking line drive to left field that he caught off his shoe tops. Snow cone anyone?
Stay tuned for playoffs!
