Upstate NY Sectional PONY Champions Crowned At 10U,11U and 12U

posted by Administrator 06/21/2010 09:06:52

FORM held up in PONY tournament play this past weekend as the number one seeds in all three Age Division PONY Sectional Championship Tournaments cruised through their respective tournaments undefeated and won their championship games via the 10 run rule. Very impressive performances were turned in by:
  • 12U - Saratoga Stampede - George Coleman, Mgr.
  • 11U - Upstate Gamers - Scott Payne, Mgr.
  • 10U - Adirondack Heat - Mike Fox, Mgr.
These teams will represent the Upstate NY PONY Section in the PONY North Regional, to be held in New Bedford, MA., in mid-July. Should they become Regional Champions as well, they will advance to the PONY Zone tournaments the following weekend and ultimately the PONY World Series in their respective age divisions. In the last three years, ENYTB has had an NABF World Series Champion and two AABC World Series Champions. Maybe this year we will produce our first ever PONY World Series Champion!

CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR NEWLY CROWNED PONY CHAMPS AND BEST OF LUCK TO THEM AS THEY MOVE ON!!!

A Big Thanks To Our Tournament Hosts

A tip of the hat to our three tournament hosts for this weekend: BSPA; Spring LL; and, newcomer Lansingburgh LL. I was able to get to all three sites on two or more occasions over the weekend and in all instances witnessed our teams having a great time. A special thanks to Rick Miller at BSPA; Clem LaPietra at Spring LL and Scott Ryan at Lansingburgh LL for all the work they and their fellow volunteers put in on a beautiful Father's Day weekend to help the league provide the players with a first class local tournament experience.
