Rockies comeback rocks Pirates

The Pirates appeared to be on their way to an easy victory as they

built a 6-0 lead halfway through Saturday’s Minor A Division game with

the Rockies.

But over the course of the final three innings, the Rockies woke up,

then went on to outscore their rival, 10-1, to complete a 10-7 comeback

victory at Seaview Little League.

The Rockies began their rally with a five run fourth inning,

highlighted by key hits from Austin Rovazzini, Matt Fockler, and Anthony

Lee. And, once they took their first lead, Rockies relief pitcher Kyle

Boswell turned away one final threat by the Pirates as he struck out

three batters with the bases loaded to end the game.

The Pirates had staked their way to the 6-0 lead behind the hitting of

Chris Czerniachowski, Shawn McEachin, and Bryan Kobylka.

throughout many summer collegiate leagues all over the country, giving

campers a chance to be instructed by possible future professional

athletes,” Diaz said. “The ratio of one instructor to every eight campers

provides an excellent opportunity for personal attention as well as

personal direction for the children. The 13-15 year old age group campers

will learn how to prepare for high school baseball, both on and off the

field, as well as certain aspects of collegiate recruiting.”
