Vellano Brothers took the show on the road and began their quest to claim a District 13, City & County Championship. Today was an opening round game versus the champs from American LL.

VB used 7 hits and 4 walks over a 3 inning span to build a lead….as they cruised to an easy 11-0 victory in a 3 1/2 inning, shortened affair. The “knockout blow” was a Grand Slam HR in the 3rd inning by Ben Contento, but all offensive highlights are below:

Nick Donato 1 hit, 3 runs
Ben Contento 1 hit (HR)
Mike Mueller 2 hits
Cameron Apple 1 hit
Jim Morrison 1 hit
Matt Montena 1 hit

Pitching was handled by Mike Mueller (19), Cameron Apple (16) and Jim Morrison (10). All three pitchers threw great as they completed 4 innings in just 45 pitches combined!!

Now it’s on to round 2, as now Vellano will face the champs from Hudson Valley LL on Tuesday….first pitch is set for 6:04pm, good luck Vellano!!

SHAW BROTHERS WILL RETURN TUESDAY

Kevin and Zack Shaw weren’t happy about missing the 1st round game….and real excited we won as they will return to the lineup this Tuesday in the quarter finals!!
