Game 1: Needham v Needham was a great game with friends everywhere. Connor was the starting pitcher and his performance was phenomenal. Needham American came out with the win 9-3.
Game 2: Needham American v Norwood was a tough match up but Harrison Silverman pitched a gem. Needham won 5-0 with some spectacular defense. Connor helped set the tone of the game with defense. He was playing shortstop and the first ball was a hard hit ball to him which he cleanly played and threw the runner out at first. One of many great plays.
Game 3: Needham v Needham under the lights in Norwood. Needham National had an eight inning victory over Norwood so Norwood was eliminated from the tournament. Connor was starting pitcher again and pitched a complete five inning victory.
Hopefully you can read this summary which shows what a spectacular night he had. With five innings pitched, he had 9 strikeouts and 3 hits and no walks. Insane!!!
He also went 2-4 and reached base three times which allowed him to be the winning runner who scored. Connor you are amazing. Congrats on such a well played game.
This victory makes Needham American the District 11 Champions.
This is the first time Needham has advanced past the district round. Go Needham!!!
Connor, Tyler, Adam and George
