Billy Collins and the girls 12's (who won the NY State title last year as 11 yr-olds) play their first D18 game tonight Friday 6/21 at 7:00 p.m. They will play New CIty LL at home on McCarthy field. Update 6/21: The PRLL Major Girls All-Stars won their first tournament game, 8-1, over New City. Kiera Luckie was the winning pitcher, assisted by a grand slam homer over the center field fence by Casey Urban, and a solo shot over the right field fence by Antonia Guglielmo. (See Game Photos here). Update 6/22: The team followed up their opening victory with a 12-2 victory over Nanuet/West Nyack. Update 6/23: The 12's dropped a close 3-1 game to Haverstraw (at Haverstraw), but will earn a re-match if they can win their next game on Wednesday, 6/25 at Anderson, against Nanuet/West Nyack. Update 6/25: PRLL defeated Nanuet/West Nyack, 6-1, behind the pitching of Kiera Luckie (See Game Photos here), and earned a re-match with Haverstraw, which will take place at Haverstraw on Thursday, June 26 at 6 p.m. Update 6/25: The Girls 12s fell victim to a last-inning rally by Haverstraw, who won 13-12, to end PRLL's tournament. The team was a great representative for the League. We are proud of them for their efforts this year, and of course for their state title last year. It is very difficult for a team to repeat as District champions, and the girls gave their best effort. They have earned an enjoyable and restful summer.
ADDENDUM: 7/14/19: Before starting their vacation, the 12's made a stop at the Hank Jaxel Memorial Tournament, where they won the tournament championship. A great way to start the summer!! Congratulations!!
Kenny Tait and the girls 10s, in their first D18 game on Thursday 6/27, lost to Haverstraw, 12-2. The team played a much better game on 6/29, but lost an elimination squeaker to Nanuet/West Nyack, 10-8 at the Nanuet field.
