After nearly 5 hours of baseball Tuesday night at the Field of Dreams at NYO, the Bulls defeated the Tigers in 2 games 11-5 and 13-3 to win the District Championship. Game 1 started at 6:00 p.m. with Cassius Young on the mound for the Bulls. Tigers leadoff hitter Reid Balser walked and Drew Simons bunted. But the Tiger bats went silent as they were only able to put up 1 run. Jack Rubenstein took the mound for the Tigers and the Bulls bats came out hot. Ryan Greer, Brooks Langley and Jack Galanek each had singles and Cole Smith put up a triple. But the Tigers held the Bulls to just 2 runs with some great defense from SS Balser. In the top of the 2nd the Tigers put up a single and a double from Balser and Adam Williams which resulted in 3 runs. With 2 base runners on and the Tigers looking to add to their 4-2 lead, Rubenstein hit a shot to RF but Simon Herrick played it perfectly and got the Bulls out of the inning. The Bulls reclaimed the lead in the bottom of the 2nd as their bats remained on fire. Barrett Baker, Greer, Smith, Young and Langley each delivered base hits which resulted in 5 runs and at the end of 2 innings the Bulls had a 7-4 lead. The Tigers added another run in top of the 3rd off a hard hit up the middle from Ben Miller but pitcher Langley and the Bulls defense quickly put an end to a Tiger rally. The Bulls added 2 runs to their lead in the bottom of the 3rd with singles from Will Goldberg, Charlie Stewart and Smith and after 3 innings the Bulls were in the lead 9-5. In the top of the 5th, Evan Rottner led off with a single but Langley then settled down and again was able to shut down any Tiger rally and the Tigers were again held scoreless. The Bulls then added 2 more insurance runs in the bottom of the 5th and went on to win the game 11-5, thus forcing the Tigers to a second decisive game for the District Championship. Game 2 started close to 9:00 p.m. with the Tigers putting up 2 runs off Bulls starter Cole Smith. The Tigers had bases loaded with just one out but the Bulls defense held the Tigers in the 1st after 2B Cassius Young caught a line drive from Josh Simons for the final out of the inning. Adam Williams took the mound for the Tigers and held the Bulls scoreless in the 1st inning which was highlighted by a spectacular line drive catch from shortstop Reid Balser who quickly doubled up the runner at 2B. In the top of the 2nd inning the Tigers once again found themselves with bases loaded and only 1 out. But their bats fell silent and the Tigers were only able to add 1 more run to their lead. In the bottom of the 2nd the Bulls put up 5 runs led by a huge double that hit the fence from Brooks Langley and singles from Cole Smith and Cassius Young and the Bulls led 5-3 after 2 innings. In the top of the 3rd the Tigers again loaded the bases with singles from Josh Simons and Evan Rottner and a great bunt from Balser. But once again Langley pitched himself out of the inning, recording 3 strikeouts to shut down any Tiger rally. In the bottom of the 3rd the Bulls were able to add 8 runs, taking advantage from both infield errors from the Tigers and base hits from Langley and Will Goldberg. After a scoreless 4th by Tigers, the Bulls sealed the victory with a 13-3 victory and secured the District Championship for the Bulls. Congratulations to both teams for a great District tournament. The Bulls have now won all 4 tournaments they have entered this summer. The Tigers record now goes to an impressive 17-5 with 1 tournament victory and 2 runner up finishes this summer. Both teams will now head to Cedartown, GA to participate in the Dizzy Dean State Tournament which starts July 11th. Congratulations to Bulls coaches Levenbaum, Woolverton and Licatta and Tigers coaches Simons, Kushner and Rosen for successfully leading both teams this summer. Additionally, the Bulls and Tigers players, coaches, and their families sincerely appreciate all of those who volunteered their time and efforts to host the Dizzy Dean District 4 Tournament. Special thanks to Neal Smith, Larry Bennett, Frank Toye, Cliff Barshay, Billy Small, Jane Wilkins, Bill Grand and our scorekeepers, announcers, and fantastic field maintenance crew!

After district this weekend at Webb Bridge Park, the Bombers moved their Tournament record to 9-6-1 and total record to 14-7-1. The Bombers first game over the Sandy Springs Storm was filled with stormy weather but the Bombers managed to knock it out of the park with a15-10 win. The hitting was lead by Clay Chesin who had 1 double and 1 triple to knock in 3 runs. Jordan Secret and Henry Kreimer also went 3-3 knocking in one run a piece. Harrison Lewis, Davis Goren, Ralston Johnson, Greg Rogers, Andrew Henning and Matt Schafer all added 2 hits. The next game matched the Bombers up against the NYO Stallions. The first inning ended with a 6-6 tie but the Stallions played strong and won 20-6. Andrew Henning safely bunted twice with Ralston Johnson adding 2 hits. Jordan Secret, Bennett Butler, Matt Schafer and Clay Chesin all added one hit and each knocked in a run. Harrison Lewis made an unbelievable line drive catch at first to double up the batter and the first base runner! The Bombers needed a big win to send them to the State championship and got even more than they expected winning 14-6 over the Sandy Plains Cougars- Blue. The Bombers jumped out to a 10-0 lead after the first 2 innings and never looked back. Jordan Secret led all hitters going 4-4 with 4 runs knocked in. Greg Rogers added 3 hits and knocked in one run. Tate Gebhart, Bennett Butler, Henry Kreimer, Clay Chesin and Matt Schafer all added 2 hits to the attack. The last game was lost to the Sandy Plains Cougars -Red 12-5. Sandy Plains started off strong with 7 runs in the first inning and the Bombers could not crawl back from the deficit. They played their best defensive game to date from the second inning on. Clay Chesin, Davis Goren, Matt Schafer and Harrison Lewis led the hitting picking up 2 hits apiece.
With a resounding 24 - 13 win over the Wills Park Sharks in the championship game, the Stallions finally overcame their tendency to finish second in 2008 tournaments. It was a night of celebration for all the coaches, boys, and parents as the Stallions overcame a quick 7 run deficit in the top half of the first inning.
The Sharks jumped on top with some crazy hits that took weird hops over fielder’s heads, and some timely and well placed hit’s the Sharks had the maximum 7 runs on the board before the Stallions swung a bat. Undaunted, the Stallions came back with a vengeance and tied the score. With one out, Zeke Diamond, , Hugh Chapman and Brian Smith singled, and Max Felton tripled to right field and there were 3 fast runs back. William Goldberg reached on a first base error, and Coleman Boyd singled to left field. Two infield errors followed before Patrick Taylor lined a hit to left field. Six runs were in, but Brian Chu was cut down at the plate on a strong throw from left field. It didn’t matter, though, when Graham Alcorn doubled over the left fielder’s head to score the 7th run and tie the score. The Wills Park boys were so unnerved by seeing their lead evaporate that they hit 3 quick fly balls to go down 1 - 2 - 3 in the top of the second. The Stallions went ahead for good with 3 runs in the bottom half of the inning. Zeke led off with an infield hit, and after one out, Brian Smith singled to move Zeke to second. Max Felton hit his second triple of the night to drive in 2 and William Goldberg followed with a single to get Max home. Wills Park tried to come back, but 3 consecutive force outs with the bases loaded allowed only one run to score. The Stallions put it away in the bottom of the third. Ryan McDaniel reached on a dropped fly ball, and Tommy Cosgrove singled up the middle. Both scored when Graham drilled at triple to right center. Zeke singled Graham home, Hugh Chapman reached first on an error, and Brian Smith plated both with a long double to center. Max singled to left and Brian scored, with Max taking second on the throw in to the plate. William Goldberg got the seventh run home and the Stallions had an insurmountable 17 - 8 lead. Wills Park kept fighting back and got 2 in the top of the 4th, but the Stallions got 7 more in the bottom half. Coleman singled and after a force at second, Ryan McDaniel singled to right and Joey Ferguson followed with another single to right. Graham doubled 2 home, Zeke singled to get Graham to third and Hugh Chapman drove in 2 with a double. Brian Smith got Hugh home and Max Felton hit his third triple of the night to score Brian. William again got Max home with the 7th run. Needing at least 7 to remain alive, Wills Park got only 3 and when Melick popped to Brian Chu, the Stallions ran to the field to celebrate a 24 - 13 win and the championship. The Stallions had almost as many triples in this game, 5, than in all previous 18 games combined. Max Felton had three triples to up his team lead to 5. Brian Smith had 5 runs batted in, Max had 4 and Graham had 4 to lead the hit parade. The Stallions had 24 hits for 24 runs in 36 at bats, a .667 batting average for the game. In the tournament, the Stallions outscored the combined opposition 101 to 32, along the way beating the Shaw Park Storm. East Side Cyclones, NYO bombers, and the Wills Park Sharks twice In one game against the East Side Cyclones, the Stallions won 22 - 0 holding the Cyclones to just 2 hits….remarkable in an 8 year old baseball game. The team’ record is now 15 - 4 for the season. Now it’s on to Kennesaw State for the weekend and then the State tournament starting the 11th of July. Great job, Stallions! e
The 13U NYO Raptors entered last weekend’s Dizzy Dean District 4 tournament at Shaw Park needing one win to qualify for the Dizzy Dean State Tournament. They got it on Saturday with a 6-1 victory over the Wills Park Bombers. Jim Voyles picked up the win with 4 shutout innings, striking out 6, with no walks. Jim also helped himself at the plate with a 2-RBI triple in the third inning. The win over the Bombers was sandwiched between close loses to the Druid Hills Viking and the Druid Hills Lightning. Jim Voyles struck out 5 in 2 and 2/3 innings against the Vikings, but 3 errors in the third inning led to 5 runs for the Vikings. The Raptors fought back with 6 runs in the bottom of the third to close the score to 7-6. The highlight of the inning was a 2-RBI double by David Lewis. The final score was 9-7. The Raptors were eliminated on Sunday with a 11-7 loss to the Druid Hills Lightning. The Raptors spotted the Lightning a 4-run lead in the first inning on 3 hits and 2 errors. The Raptors settled down after the first and played the Lightning to a draw for the remainder of the game. Zach Wingate made his first appearance of the summer on the mound and held the Lightning to 2 runs in 3 and 2/3 innings. Zach did all he could to bring the Raptors back into the game as he hit a triple and scored 3 runs. David Lewis had another 2-RBI game as he tripled in the fourth inning and Ed Voyles hit a 2-RBI triple to right field in the sixth inning. For the tournament, the Raptors hit 4 triples and 6 doubles for a .500 team slugging percentage and batted .378 with runners in scoring position. The 16-team, double-elimination, Dizzy Dean State Tournament begins on July 11 at Jefferson. e
The NYO All Star Drillers (11s) played in the Triple Crown Summer Sizzler to Nationals at Morgan Fall Park (and Will’s Park), beginning on Friday, June 27. The 11U tournament field included seven very good teams from the north Georgia area. The Drillers went 1-1 in pool play before losing a heartbreaker in their quarterfinal game, 4-3, to conclude their All Star season. Pool play began on Friday night at 8:00, with the Drillers falling to the AAU State Champion Homeplate Chilidogs from Peachtree City. After three innings, the score stood 0-0, a classic pitchers’ duel. Connor Stutts started and fired two scoreless innings for NYO, and Jack Herbert pitched a three-up, three down third. In the top of the fourth, however, after a lightning delay of approximately 45 minutes, the Chilidogs broke through with three unearned runs. Then, in the top of the fifth, suddenly it was “lights out,” literally, as the park lights expired, apparently timed to go off at 10:00. The game was called with the Chilidogs batting with one out and seven runs across in the inning. Several big defensive plays kept the Drillers close early, including two sparkling catches by Joe Charron in left field; a long running catch by Ridge Maxson in center field; and, in the first inning with runners on first and third and one out, a throw from catcher Nick East to nail the runner at first attempting to steal, with JM Klopfenstein completing the play and the other runner holding at third. Stutts had two hits and Sam Asbury had one for NYO. Joe Taylor and Asbury also pitched for NYO. Game two of pool play featured a full six inning pitchers’ duel, with the Drillers defeating Thunder Baseball SMP from Cumming, 2-0. The Drillers nicked the Thunder for a run in the first as Asbury singled, went to third on a hit and run single by Stutts, and scored on wild pitch. They added an insurance run in the bottom of the fifth on hits by Maxson, Tyler Diamond, and Emerson Rollins. Charron added a hit in the third, and Stutts added a double in the fourth. Errorless Driller defense supported winning pitcher Will Pearson, who scattered three hits and struck out three through three innings; Asbury, who stranded three in each of the fourth and fifth; and Rollins, who struck out two in the sixth for the save. In championship bracket play on Saturday, the Drillers, seeded fifth, drew the eventual champion Southside Gray Sox from Fayetteville, the fourth seed. Two first inning Gray Sox homeruns interposed by a hit batsman gave the Gray Sox a 3-0 early lead. In the top of the second, however, the Drillers answered with hits by East and Klopfenstein, followed by a big three-run homerun blast by Will Johnson over the right field fence, to tie it at three. It was still tied at three in the bottom of the fifth with two out, when the Gray Sox #9 hitter lifted a solo shot to left center to make it 4-3. The Drillers, however, rallied in the top of the sixth. Stutts led off with a single (to go 6-7 for the tournament), then with two out, Rollins and Klopfenstein smacked line drive hits to left to load the bases. But an ensuing groundout ended the drama. Stutts pitched four innings and Herbert one for NYO. Charron also hit for NYO. Thus, the Drillers completed their All Star season with a 22-7 overall record, including 21-7 in tournament play and an 8-2 single game victory on June 24 against the Buckhead Red at Frankie Allen Park in Buckhead. The Drillers entered six tournaments, winning two and finishing second three times. e
After a lackluster start vs. the Wills Park Force and Ga. Outlaws and dodging a few thunderstorms the Guns final game was moved from Webb Bridge Park to Garr Field. The Guns responded in a big way with a masterful pitching performance by starter, Robbie Baker, and reliever, Brant Wells. Nick Boden (2 for 4) got the Guns on the board first with a single and run scored. Unfortunately, the imposing Sandy Plains Wildcats kept coming and moved ahead. The Guns fought back to within two, but ran out of outs. Of note, Jalen Logan went 3 for 3. Hits were also registered by Campbell Toye, Harrison McClure and Wells King. The defense was also stellar with no errors committed in the last two games of the tournament. All in all, a fun and memorable night at NYO and fitting end to the season. Many thanks to coach, Brian Cooper; GM, Mitch Allen; team moms, Roz McClure and Kim Branch and all the parents who helped out.
ALPHARETTA, GA (June 29th, 2008) — The NYO 13 Bulls 2008 tournament season ended with another great run through pool play and, unfortunately, another tough loss in the semi-finals. After 3 challenging victories the 13 Bulls ended their 2008 season with an extra inning loss to the Sandy Plains Wildcats at the Triple Crown Summer Sizzler to Nationals Tournament at Webb Bridge Park. On Friday Hays Meyer pounded huge RBIs in a come from behind victory Vs the Web Bridge Rangers to start pool play – and the team piled on runs as the Bulls cruised to a 12-5 victory. Wesley Bloeme delivered a one hop double to the wall and a web gem defensive play in foul territory to help NYO. Saturday brought two tough matches against strong competition. Again, coming from behind the Bulls would not quit playing against an experienced West Cobb team. Davis Price launched a solo home run shot to dead center to get NYO on the scoreboard and later, with the scored tied, Nick McGrath delivered the clutch two out hit of the game up the middle to put the Bulls ahead to stay. But it was Will Small, who was on base all day, who sent hot shots to almost every field in each at bat. Solid pitching by Small, Meyer and Schultz allowed the defense to make big play after big play – the highlight being a Will Small catch in deep centerfield with runners in scoring position. Wesley “Black Beard” Bloeme also drove in key runs to keep the pace strong for the Bulls. Will Small stayed hot in the night cap with another multiple hit game; including 284.5 shot which hit the top of the fence setting the tone for NYO against Wills Park. However, Wills Park would not quit and loaded the bases with 1 out while pulling within 2 runs. Coach Ken Caldwell called on Chip Capper to snuff out the rally -- and Chip delivered with back-to-back dominating strikeouts to end the threat. The semi-final match-up against Sandy Plains was tight all game long. Sandy Plains led early, NYO led in the middle and it was tied after 7 innings – 6-6. In the tie breaker extra inning format the Wildcats scored twice and the Bulls only scored once – ending the game and season for NYO. Hot hitting continued for Will Small and Nathan Schultz in the game. This combined with clutch pitching by Chip Capper and Conner McDaniel kept the Bulls hopes alive. In a game of inches the Bulls let key opportunities slip away and it seemed every close call went to the competition. As usual, the Bulls coaches and team were a class act on and off the field finishing their summer run with an outstanding record of 16 wins and 5 losses. ) e
The NYO Titans competed at the Grand Slam at the Beach at Panama City Beach this past weekend reaching the Finals on Sunday night before getting squeezed by the Chet Lemon Juice losing 7-4 in the championship game. Overall, the Titans were 4-1 in the tournament, making their presence known along with other NYO teams, on and off the field. The Titans, by winning all of their games leading to the final, finished 2nd out of 10 teams from around Florida and the Southeast.
After coming off sweet victories against Sandy Springs and Buckhead in the North Atlanta Cup on Tuesday and Wednesday, the Titans traveled to Panama City Beach Thursday morning early to play two games Thursday afternoon. The Titans, while perhaps tired from road travel, played well enough to win both against the Grayson Rams from Grayson, Georgia and R.L. Turner from Bay County, Florida. In the first game, the road wary Titans found themselves down 5-3 going to the top of the sixth. It was rally time and the Titans produced. Back to back walks by the sixth inning leadoff hitter Will Maguire and Andrew Fisher paved the way for RBI singles by Jake Johnson and Sam Galanek, and a big sac fly to center by Chris McGrath. Steven Taylor and Luke Johnson also reached based and scored in the inning to put a five spot on the board for the Titans to go ahead 8-5. Harris Kirson shut the Rams down in the bottom of the sixth with two come backers to the mound and a grounder to Andrew Fisher to step on second to end the game. In a total team effort which saw pitching from Galanek, Jack McLauglin, Taylor, Sean Guenther and Kirson, the Titans came out victorious 8-6. In the second game of pool play, the Titans went up against a local favorite from Bay County, Florida, R.L. Turner, who sent a 12 year old team to the Little League World Series in 1996. Again, the Titans kept it close (perhaps too close for comfort) through four before they got serious. The Titans headed to the final inning tied. This time Kirson lead off and got hit by a pitch in a tough at bat and Maguire followed with a walk. Steven Taylor came off the bench after hurting his ankle in the first and not playing since with a clutch RBI single. Jake Johnson walked and Luke Johnson followed with a 2RBI single and later scored. The Johnsons, Taylor, Maguire and Kirson all scored to go up 7-2 heading to the bottom of the fifth. The story of this game for the Titans, however, was a rare relief job by Will Maguire who shut down the opposition to close the game out. Maguire came in the game in the second inning with no outs and pitched four innings with no earned runs to secure the victory for the Titans. Although not dominant by a long stretch, with the wins on this Thursday the Titans earned a first place seeding and two days off at the beach! They would have to play three games on Sunday to get a shot at the championship trophy. Championship day on Sunday means red uniforms and white hats. The parents and coaches were ready and packed, the team ready to play. Nobody counted on the RAIN!!! Next, the Titans faced the highly touted, big hitting “Team Combat” out of Kennesaw, Georgia. On this day, the Titans were prepared for combat by demolishing the opponent 12-0 in four innings. Jake Johnson took the mound for the Titans appearing in command from the beginning, striking out 5 of the first seven batters – looking! He pitched a complete game shutout, striking out 7 over four innings. Fine defensive plays by David Feldman at second and Fisher at short, including an inning ending double play helped seal the deal. Offensively, the Titans combined walks with timely hitting to pour on the runs and overwhelm “Team Combat. Jake Johnson helped his own cause with 2 hits, an RBI and 3 runs. Brother Luke Johnson contributed 3 RBIs and 2 runs with a walk, single and towering HomeRun in the second inning. Runs, hits or RBIs by the 3M s - Maguire, McGrath and McLaughlin, as well as by Guenther, Galanek, Fisher, DeYonker and Taylor closed out the scoring for the Titans in the 12-0 rout. The Titans now found themselved in the much anticipated Final vs. the Chet Lemon Juice, an experienced travel team, for their 3rd game of the day. Harris Kirson led the charge against the Juice holding them to four runs before being relieved by Jake Johnson. While Kirson and Johnson kept them in tow, the Titans played some aggressive offense tying the score 4-4 after 3 innings. Maguire, Taylor and Feldman all scored in the bottom of the third after leading off the inning with a walk, single and hit by pitch, as they were knocked in by ground balls by Fisher and Jake Johnson. Although they headed to the fifth tied 4-4, the Titans could not hold on against a talented hitting and pitching team and were ultimately edged out 7-4 by the Juice.
