The Windham Little League baseball 9–10-year-old All-Stars defeated the Bonny Eagle Scots 15-13 at Ciccerone Field at Lowell Farm in Windham during the All-Star tournament.
Bonny Eagle wasn’t far behind Windham and may have caught them had it not been for Windham’s top-notch defense and pitching.
“We executed everything that they went over in practice for the last two weeks,” said Windham 9-10-year-old Little League All-Stars baseball coach Stephen DePaolo II. “We made a lot of mistakes first game; we didn’t make those mistakes today. We hit well, we helped each other out, we were talking in the field. Awesome effort by them all.”
Bonny Eagle scored a run in the first inning.
Windham fourth-grader Steven Depaolo III singled and stole his way around the diamond to tie up the game in the first inning.
Fourth-grader Joseph Small later singled.
“It’s a first win ... I feel like we did a really good job,” said Small. “Pitching, fielding and hitting all went well.”
Small said they are going to try their best to win a lot more games.
In the bottom of the second inning, Windham fourth-grader Robbie Sanicola doubled. Third-grader Nolan Works singled; Sanicola scored.
Windham third-grader Maxwell Inzerillo singled and brought in Works. Depaolo III singled and Inzerillo scored. Depaolo III stole home.
Windham fourth-grader Nolan Harvie walked. So did third-grader Colton Kalakowsky. Harvie scored.
In the bottom of the fourth inning, Windham led 10-7. After a walk, Windham third-grader Cody Devoid singled. Inzerillo singled and third-grader Jackson Zinchuk scored.
Harvie doubled and Devoid scored. Kalakowsky doubled and Inzerillo scored. Harvie later crossed the plate. Windham led 14-7.
With time almost up for the Scots, Bonny Eagle put four funs on the scoreboard in the top of the fifth inning.
Windham scored one more run in the bottom of the fifth inning when Sanicola singled and Zinchuk brought him home.
In the top of the sixth inning, Windham defense held down Bonny Eagle. Windham’s Inzerillo was on the mound and got the first strikeout after a single from the Scots. Another single and Bonny Eagle scored.
A ground out and the Eagles were one out away from a win. Bonny Eagle singled, and a run scored.
A pop-up to center field and DePaolo III is there with an open glove to make the catch.
Depaolo III said he was a little nervous going into the game but once he got his first hit those nerves went away. <
