May 16, 2023

The YAO Youth Baseball League continued at the YAO Ball Park on Kindley Field this weekend, with the Phillies, Red Sox, Blue Jays, and Diamondbacks all earning wins.

Cal Ripken Division [Ages 10-12]:

Phillies 14 Red Sox 5

The Phillies had an all-around team effort in their 14-5 win over the Red Sox. The Phillies had strong pitching from Eli Lemon, James Kenahan, and Grayson Tavarez to hold the Red Sox in check throughout the game. The Red Sox were led at the plate by Ethan Hunter who had two hits, including an inside-the-park home run.

Red Sox 8 Mets 5

The Red Sox bounced back from their Friday evening loss to the Phillies to beat the Mets 8-5 on Saturday morning at Kindley Field. The Red Sox were led by solid pitching performances from James Cook, John Fontanetta, and especially Austin Viera who closed out the victory in the bottom of the 6th. The Mets were led at the plate by Patrick McDowell who had an inside-the-park homerun and Marcus Furbert on the mound who had three K’s across two scoreless innings.

Blue Jays 22 Phillies 11

Blue Jays had a strong offensive performance to overwhelm the Phillies 22-11. James Keith, Finn Peters, and Kylen Richard all hit inside-the-park home runs to contribute to the victory.

Rookie Majors Division [Ages 8-9]

Blue Jays 2 Pirates 2

The Blue Jays and Pirates tied in a tightly contested battle where the Blue Jays were leading until the bottom of the 5th when the Pirates tied it up. Pitching and defense were dominant for both teams, with standouts being Freddie Jones, Scheyer Mello, Carter Simons-Crane, and Isiah Furbert.

Diamondbacks 3 Orioles 2

Again, pitching and defense were at the forefront of the second game of the day between the Diamondbacks and the Orioles. The Diamondbacks narrowly escaped with a win while being led at the plate by Luca DeSilva and Landon Boorman who combined for all three RBIs. The Orioles were led by Roman Jagoda and Raidyn DeRoza who were responsible for both of the Orioles’ runs in defeat.
