Long Island Baseball Congratulates Long Island Force 13u White Team

Long Island Force 13U White swept the double header opener against the South Bay Indians. Mike Riolo pitched six strong innings allowing only one run. He made the defensive play of the game early on when he made a diving catch on a bunt and doubled up the runner on second base. The bats were lead by Phillip Bellomo and Brendan Mannix. Paul Demauro came in the 7th to close the game out. The Force took game one 5-1. Game 2 started out with the Force making sloppy plays in the field resulting in them trailing 5-1 after the first two innings. Phillip settled in and pitched a scoreless third inning. Ryan Nelson held the Indians scoreless over the next four innings. His pitching effort and improved defense highlighted by Justin Orebello starting a relay to throw an Indian out at third. The Force chipped away at the Indians lead which they tied in the 6th. The rally back was a team effort; all the boys contributed. The Force took the lead in the 8th scoring 4 runs. Mike Orebello came in to close the game for a Force 9-7 win. The team showed grit, heart and fight. Great opening weekend boys! Next game is Saturday 6/9 against the Long Island Fury at Steele Park; game time is 9am. Go get them boys. To see more pictures click here www.longislandbaseballnow.com.
