Adam Harkins, head coach, said, “I’m really proud of these kids, they put together an amazing game. Two rundowns and one of them was a double play. That in itself is amazing. These boys have come so far and play so well together.”
Aidan Sanborn, Owen Cotta and Finn Harkins provided a strong pitching performance by limiting Lisbon to only one run over seven innings. Maddux Cusumano, Aidric Canada and Sammy Markowitz provided timely hitting to outpace Lisbon.
