This week’s All Star Baseball Academy Team of the Week award goes to the 11U Team from West Chester. They went 4-1 the weekend of the 10th and 11th on their way to winning the Patriot Day Tournament in Aberdeen, Maryland. They are coached by Brian Rorick.
The 11U squad blew away the competition in the tournament, scoring 49 runs in 5 games. On their way to the tournament championship, they beat the Germantown Hawks 10-0, the Staten Island Legends 11-0, and the Franklin Rockets 10-0, with the lone loss being a 5-4 battle against the North Howell Bombers. In the championship game, they put up 14 runs in a 14-7 win against the Long Island Braves.
While everyone contributed to the offensive onslaught, Jon Moldoff and Adam Smith lead the charge with stellar performances. Moldoff was 9-15 for the weekend with 4 RBI, while Smith was 7-12 and chipped in 3 RBI.
The offensive performance was matched by the pitching staff, with 3 shutouts on the weekend. Pitching standouts were Jonah Frankel and Zach Cantrambone, who both threw complete game shutouts.
Coach Rorick was very pleased with his team’s performance, saying “It was our first weekend out, and I think it was exciting for the guys to come out swinging and throwing as well as we did. I was excited for the guys. We shutout 3 teams, we lost a close game and were able to win it all. I was very proud of the guys for the way we put pressure on the other team’s defense. We played very well defensively. We came out throwing strikes and swinging at quality pitches.”
The 11U Team plays again September 24th and 25th at ECTB’s In the Net Autumn Wood Bat Tournament in Allentown.
