The 13U BLUES improved to 8-0 with a sweep of the NE Firebirds on Sunday.
Seadogs 4, Firebirds 2
The Seadogs beat two very good Firebirds
pitchers with excellent pitching of their own and their usual excellent
defense
and aggressive baserunning. Donny May pitched five scoreless
innings and Joey Guarino picked up the save in relief.
Seadogs 7, Firebirds 3
Vinny Scifo worked four very strong innings on the mound and also drove in the winning run in the sixth with a rocket double into the right-center gap. Sammy Falkson and Kevin Murphy were great in relief of Scifo. Offensively, Johnny Adams grinded out two multiple pitch at-bats, one which finally drove in a run with a groundout and the other a walk that turned out to be the winning run. After returning from injury, Sean Heelen made his Seadog debut a memorable one, gunning down three would-be base stealers from his catcher position.

Dylan Russo sparked the win in the nightcap with two RBI, one on a double that was scorched down the left field line in the eight run third inning.
