On Sunday May 22, 2011 friends, family, and fans were treated to an old fashioned pitching duel between our boys and the tough Swifty’s team coached by Mike Rooney. Coach Deyoe had the team well prepared and the mistakes were few… if any, in a tense nail biter. Eric Deyoe started the game for AT and was outstanding, scattering three hits while striking out 7 batters in 4 innings pitched. Combined with a gritty final inning pitched by Jonathan Scotto, they kept the team in the game from start to finish. On defense our team brought their “A” games with outstanding contributions by many players giving their absolute all in the field to support the great pitching. But on offense it was an uphill battle as our runners reached base only 6 times against opposing pitcher Jack Rooney who gave up only 4 hits and 2 walks in 5 2/3 innings while striking out an outstanding 14 batters. Going into the second half of the season, this game highlighted why this team never quits. It also showcased the depth of pitching available and defensive prowess that will serve it well down the stretch.
