After winning eight consecutive games in the Rehoboth Summer Slam and the Rhode Island State Tournament, the 11 Year Old All Stars of West Warwick went 1-2 in the New England Regional held at Little Fenway in Oakland, Maine.  A recap of their games follows:   

New Canaan (Connecticut) 11 West Warwick 6

In a rematch of last year's Ten Year Old New England Championship, New Canaan (Connecticut) came from behind and defeated West Warwick (3-time Rhode Island Champion), 11-6, in the opening round of the Eleven Year Old New England Regional. 

In the top of the first inning, West Warwick jumped out to a 1-0 lead, courtesy of four walks in the inning.  After Matt Grenier drew a walk to lead off the20game, he advanced to second on a wild pitch.  David LaMountain followed with a walk to put runners at first and second.  After Tyler Boisclair walked, Trevor Lawton hit a line drive which was snared by second baseman Kyle Levasseur, who dove to his right to make the "web gem" catch.  Joe Maynard, however, reached on a two out walk, scoring Grenier.  

In the top of the second inning, Mitchell Moore walked with one out, but was thrown out at third base when left fielder, Colin Tyler, took Matt Grenier's double off the "Green Monster" and threw a "pea" to third baseman, David Giusti, for the second out of the inning.  Shortstop Jimmy Fahey continued New Canaan's flare for defensive gems by making a backhanded stop of David LaMountain's grounder in the hole and throwing the speedster out to end the inning. 

Ray Zincone, who worked out of a first and third situation in the first inning, breezed through the second and third innings by striking out four batters and allowing only one hit.  In three innings of work, Zincone struck out five and threw 36 of 60 pitches for strikes.  

In the top of the fourth inning, West Warwick rallied for one run.  With one out, Kyle Henseler hit a single off the wall, moved to second on Mitchell Moore's single to left, advanced to third on a walk to Grenier, and scored on LaMountain's hard grounder to first.     

West Warwick's lead, however, would be short lived as New Canaan, the defending New England Champions, scored seven times on five hits and two walks for a 7-2 lead after four innings. 

In the bottom of the fifth inning, New Canaan scored four more runs on three hits, one walk, and two errors to build an 11-2 lead.   

In the top of the sixth inning, West Warwick would not qu it and rallied for four runs on hits by Matt Grenier (double to left-center), Dave Lamountain (single to left), Ray Zincone (r.b.i. single), Tyler Boisclair (two run triple to the 247 foot mark at the centerfield triangle).  Boisclair scored West Warwick's final run of the game on Trevor Lawton's r.b.i. groundout.  

Offensively, West Warwick received contributions from Grenier (2/2, two doubles, two walks, and two runs scored), LaMountain (1/3, one run scored, and one r.b.i.), Zincone (1/3, one run scored, and one r.b.i.), Boisclair (2/3, one double, one triple, and two r.b.i.'s), Lawton (one r.b.i.), Maynard (one r.b.i.), Henseler (1/2, one run scored), and Moore (1/1).  

West Warwick 11 Marlboro (Massachusetts) 2

The three ingredients for success at any level in baseball have been and still remain:  solid pitching, good defense, and timely hitting.  Although those ingredients were missing in West Warwick's opening round20loss to New Canaan (Connecticut), West Warwick found those ingredients and mixed them well in an 11-2 victory over Marlboro, Massachusetts. 

In the top of the first inning, West Warwick struck first when Matt Grenier lined a 0-2 pitch for a single to right field.  Grenier, then, moved to second when David LaMountain walked and scored two pitches later on a Ray Zincone double to the triangle in centerfield.    

While Joe Maynard kept Marlboro bats silent by striking out six batters in the first two innings, West Warwick built a 3-0 lead in the top of the third inning.   

Brian Moretti led off with a single to centerfield, advanced to second when Matt Grenier worked a walk, and moved to third on a Ray Zincone fielder's choice.  Moretti scored when Tyler Boisclair grounder to short was mishandled.  Trevor Lawton, then, laced a double to the right field fence, scoring Zincone.  

In the bottom of the third inning, Marlboro fought back with two runs on two walks and hits from Tim Smith (single) and Ryan Gibbons (double to the triangle).  With runners at second and third base, centerfielder David LaMountain made a diving catch on a line drive by Brian Short to end the inning.

After Marlboro starter, Mike Gould, retired the side on three groundouts in the top of the fourth inning, momentum seemed to be shifting toward them.   

In the bottom of the fourth inning, Marlboro loaded the bases on two walks and a single by Jose Delacruz.  Matt Grenier, then, entered the game and on a 1-2 curve ball to Mike Gould, second baseman Kyle Henseler dove to his right to catch a line drive to end the inning.  

In the top of the fifth inning, West Warwick's Matt Grenier continued the tournament's hottest streak by reaching base for the seventh consecutive time when he took Mike Gould's first pitch and hit a 220 foot missile which one hopped the right field bullpen for a lead-off triple.  David Lamountain followed with an r.b.i. single to score Grenier from third base.  LaMountain, then, advanced to second base on a wild pitch, moved to third on a passed ball, and later scored on a Trevor Lawton sacrifice fly to deep center.   

With momentum back on West Warwick's side, Matt Grenier held Marlboro in the bottom of the fifth inning by retiring the side on two strikeouts and a ground out to end the inning.  

In the top of the sixth inning, West Warwick broke the game open with six runs on three hits, two hit batsmen, two errors, and one walk. Reserve third baseman Mike Pellerin led off the inning and thrilled the West Warwick contingent when he took a 3-2 pitch and hit it over the Green Monst er for a 7-2 lead.  The home run over the replica monster, which sits 180 feet from home plate and is 22 feet high, was the first one of the tournament.   After one out, Andrew In reached first base on a hit batsman and scored when Matt Grenier reached base for the eighth consecutive time in the tournament with a double to left centerfield.  David LaMountain followed with a walk and Ray Zincone was hit by a pitch, loading the bases.  Grenier, then, scored Marlboro second baseman Tim Smith dropped a pop up.  Two batters later, Mike Pellerin, who started the inning with a memorable lead off home run, lined a two run single to right center, giving West Warwick an 11-2 lead.     

Joe Maynard, who picked up the win, struck out eight batters in 3 2/3 innings of work.  Matt Grenier, who pitched 1 1/3 innings in middle relief, struck out two batters.  Tyler Boisclair struck out two in a scoreless sixth inning.  

Offensively, West Warwick received contributions from Grenier (3/3, one double, one triple, three runs scored, and one r.b.i.), LaMountain (1/2, two runs scored and two walks), Zincone (1/2, double, two runs scored, and one r.b.i.), Boisclair (1/4, one run scored and one r.b.i.), Lawton (1/3, one double and two r.b.i.'s), Pellerin (2/2, one home run, one run scored, and three r.b.i.'s), Henseler (1/3), Moretti (1/1, one run scored), and In (one run scored). 

Defensively, West Warwick received two big defensive plays in their victory against Marlboro: David LaMountain's diving catch to end the third inning and Kyle Henseler's diving stop to end the fourth inning were two plays worthy of being web gems!   

Messalonskee (Maine) 5 West Warwick 4 (7 Innings) 

In what the Staff Writer of the Kennebac Journal Morning Sentinel, Travis Lazarczyk, coined the "Game of the Tournament," host team, Messalonskee (Maine) came from behind and defeated the West Warwick 11 Year Old All Stars, 5-4, in seven innings.    

The heartbreaking loss, which was West Warwick's second of the tournament, eliminated the Rhode Island Champions.   

In the top of the first inning, West Warwick jumped out to an early 1-0 lead when Tyler Boisclair tripled to the centerfield triangle, scoring Ray Zincone, who had reached on a fielder's choice.  

While starting pitcher, Trevor Lawton, kept Messalonskee's bats quiet for the first two innings, West Warwick built a 3-0 lead after the top of third inning.  Matt Grenier started things off by reaching base for the tenth consecutive time in the tournament when shortstop Jared Cunningham mishandled Grenier's hard grounder. 

After one out, Grenier scored on Zincone's bloop double down the right field line.  Zincone made it 3-0 when Trevor Lawton's single to left field. 

Unfortunately for West Warwick, Messalonskee came back in the bottom of the third inning with two runs on one hit, one walk, one hit batsmen, and on error. 

In the top of the fourth inning, West Warwick loaded the bases.  Mitchell Moore led off with a walk and moved to second on Kyle Henseler's single to centerfield.  After a strikeout, Matt Grenier, hitting from the right side against Noah Caret, battled the lefty for ten pitches before reaching base on a hit batsmen.  One would think that after 75 pitches thrown, losing a ten pitch battle, and loading the bases would tire any pitcher.  However, Caret, struck out the next batter and induced a grounder to second base, ending what could have been a big inning for West Warwick.  

In the bottom of the fourth inning, Matt Grenier, who pitched for West Warwick in every regional game, retired the side in order on two strikeouts and a perfectly executed play from Boisclair (First Baseman) to Grenier (Pitcher) on a grounder to first base. 

In the top of the fifth inning, West Warwick benefited from the blinding sun in right field.  Tyler Boisclair hit a fly ball to right field which right fielder Ben Thibert could not see until the ball fell on the right field line.  Boisclair ended up on third base with a "sun-splashed" triple and scored later on a passed ball.    

West Warwick's 4-2 lead, however, would be erased in the bottom of the inning when Messalonskee scored two runs on three hits and a “heads up” stolen base by Nick Mayo, who with two outs, stole home when a throw was made to second base to pick off base runner, Jon Wilkie.  Grenier struck out the next batter on three pitches to end the fifth inning.    

With the game tied at 4-4, Messalonskee's ace, Nick Mayo, who had two innings to pitch, came into the game in the top of the sixth inning and struck out two batters in a scoreless sixth.  In the bottom of the sixth, Grenier struck out one and induced two ground outs to force extra innings. 

In the top of the seventh inning, West Warwick loaded the bases when the first three batters reached safely (Boisclair - walk, Lawton - double to right center, and Maynard - walk).  With the bases loaded, Mayo got help from his defense when shortstop Jared Cunningham caught a line drive by Mitchell Moore.  Mayo took over from there by striking out the next two batters to end the inning.  

In the bottom of the seventh inning, Nick Mayo led off with a “seeing-eye ground ball” double, down the third base line by the outstretched arms of West Warwick third baseman Mike Pellerin.  After intentionally walking a batter, Grenier, who was pitching in his seventh inning in three days, struck out Klint Hall.  After a passed ball allowed runners to move to second and third base, Grenier intentionally walked Eric Tarr to set up the force out.  Unfortunately for West Warwick, second baseman Dylon Burton, redeemed himself after striking out three times in the game by fouling off two pitches on a 2-2 count before hitting a single up the middle to secure the victory for Messalonskee, 5-4.   

West Warwick, which left 11 runners on base, received solid pitching from Lawton and Grenier.  In three innings of work, Lawton struck out four, walked two, and allowed only three hits while throwing 43 of 65 pitches for strikes.  Grenier, who continued his "workhorse" load in tournament play for his team by throwing 116 pitches in three days, struck out five batters, walked four batters (two of them intentional walks in the seventh inning), and allowed five hits while throwing 42 of 56 pitches for strikes in 3 1/3 innings of work.   

All Star Memories: 

Matt Grenier, who reached base eleven consecutive times in the tournament before grounding out in the sixth inning against Messalonskee’s Nick Mayo, led West Warwick with an OBP of .916 (five hits, four walks, one hit batsmen, and reached on an error) and a batting average of .714 (one triple, two doubles, and two singles) for the tournament. 

 Tyler Boisclair, who batted .500 for the tournament, led West Warwick with four extra base hits (three triples and one double).  

In addition to Boisclair and Grenier, Kyle Henseler (three singles) and Ray Zincone (two doubles and one single) hit safely in each game.  Zincone ended the tournament with an OBP of .500 (three hits, two walks, and one hit batsmen).   

Dave LaMountain, who reached safely six times, ended the tournament with an OBP of .500 (four walks and two singles).   

Ray Zincone, who kept Connecticut bats quiet for three innings with five strikeouts in the opening round, was named West Warwick's MVP against the New Canaan. 

Mike Pellerin, who hit the tournament's first home run over the Green Monster, was named West Warwick's MVP against Marlboro, Massachusetts.  

Tyler Boisclair, who hit two triples in the game, was named West Warwick’s MVP against Messalonskee, Maine.

Perhaps the most memorable moment of the entire tournament was when Brian Moretti, who was forced to sit out game one when he was struck in the face during batting practice, lined the first pitch in the top of the third inning against Marlboro for a single to centerfield.   

In what Staff Writer of the Kennebac Journal Morning Sentinel, Travis Lazarczyk, coined the "Game of the Tournament," host team, Messalonskee (Maine) came from behind and defeated the West Warwick 11 Year Old All Stars, 5-4, in seven innings.

While starting pitcher, Trevor Lawton, kept Messalonskee's bats quiet for the first two innings, West Warwick built a 3-0 lead after the top of third inning. 

Matt Grenier started things off by reaching base for the tenth consecutive time in the tournament when shortstop Jared Cunningham bobbled Grenier's hard grounder.  After one out, Grenier scored on Zincone's bloop double down the right field line.  Zincone made it 3-0 when Trevor Lawton's single to left field. 

Unfortunately for West Warwick, Messalonskee came back in the bottom of the third inning with two runs on one hit, one walk, one hit batsmen, and on error.

In the top of the fourth inning, West Warwick loaded the bases.  Mitchell Moore led off with a walk and moved to second on Kyle Henseler's single to centerfield.  After a strikeout, Matt Grenier, hitting from the right side against Noah Caret, battled the lefty for ten pitches before reaching base on a hit batsmen.  One would think that after 75 pitches thrown, losing a ten pitch battle, and loading the bases would tire any pitcher.  However, Caret, struck out the next batter and got an induced a grounder to second base, ending what could have been a big inning for West Warwick.

In the top of the fifth inning, West Warwick benefited from the blinding sun in right field.  Tyler Boisclair hit a fly ball to right field which right fielder Ben Thibert could see until the ball nested on the right field line.  Boisclair ended up on third base with a "sun-splashed" triple.  

West Warwick's 4-2 lead, however, would be erased in the bottom of the inning when Messalonskee scored two runs on three hits off Grenier.

Messalonskee's ace, Nick Mayo, who had two innings to pitch, came into the game in the top of the sixth inning and struck out two batters in a scoreless sixth.

In the bottom of the sixth, Grenier struck out one and induced two ground outs to force extra innings.

In the top of the seventh inning, West Warwick loaded the bases when the first three batters reached safely (Boisclair - walk, Lawton - double to right center, and Maynard - walk).  With the bases loaded, Mayo got help from his defense when shortstop Jared Cunningham caught a line drive by Mitchell Moore.  Mayo took over from there by striking out the next two batters to end the inning.

West Warwick, which left 11 runners on base, received solid pitching from Lawton and Grenier.  In three innings of work, Lawton struck out four, walked two, and allowed only three hits while throwing 43 of 65 pitches for strikes.  Grenier, who continued his "workhorse" load in tournament play by throwing 116 pitches in three days, struck out five batters, walked four batters (two of them intentional walks in the seventh inning), allowed five hits while throwing 42 of 56 pitches for strikes in 3 1/3 innings of work. 

All Star Memories: 

Tyler Boisclair, who hit two triples in the game, was named M.V.P. for West Warwick.

Matt Grenier, who reached base eleven consecutive times in the tournament before grounding out in the sixth inning, led West Warwick with an OBP of .916 (five hits, four walks, one hit batsmen, and reached on an error) and a batting average of .714 (one triple, two doubles, and two singles) for the tournament.

Tyler Boisclair, who batted .500 for the tournament,  led West Warwick with four extra base hits (three triples and one double). 

In addition to Boisclair and Grenier hitting safely in each game, Kyle Henseler (three singles) and Ray Zincone (two doubles and one single) also hit safely in each game.  Zincone, also, ended the tournament with an OBP of .500 (three hits, two walks, and one hit batsmen).   

Dave LaMountain, who reached safely six times, ended the tournament with an OBP of .500 (four walks and two singles). 

The three ingredients for success at any level in baseball have been and still remain:  solid pitching, good defense, and timely hitting.  Although those ingredients were missing in West Warwick's opening round loss to New Canaan (Connecticut), West Warwick found those ingredients and mixed them well in an 11-2 victory over Marlboro, Massachusetts.

In the top of the first inning, West Warwick struck first when Matt Grenier stroked an 0-2 pitch for a single to right field.  Grenier, then, moved to second when David LaMountain walked and scored two pitches later on a Ray Zincone double to the triangle in centerfield.  

While Joe Maynard kept Marlboro bats silent by striking out six batters in the first two innings, West Warwick built a 3-0 lead in the top of the third inning.   

Brian Moretti led off with a single to centerfield, advanced to second when Matt Grenier worked a walk, and moved to third on a Ray Zincone fielder's choice.  Moretti scored when Tyler Boisclair grounder to short was mishandled.  Trevor Lawton, then, laced a double to the right field fence, scoring Zincone.  

In the bottom of the third inning, Marlboro fought back with two runs on two walks and hits from Tim Smith (single) and Ryan Gibbons (double to the triangle).  With runners at second and third base, centerfielder David LaMountain made a diving catch on a line drive by Brian Short to end the inning.

After Marlboro starter, Mike Gould, retired the side on three groundouts in the top of the fourth inning, momentum seemed to be shifting toward them. 

In the bottom of the fourth inning, Marlboro loaded the bases on two walks and a single by Jose Delacruz.  Matt Grenier, then, entered the game and on a 1-2 curve ball to Mike Gould, second baseman Kyle Henseler dove to his right to catch a line drive to end the inning.

David Lamountain followed with an r.b.i. single to score Grenier from third base.  LaMountain, then,  advanced to second base on a wild pitch, moved to third on a passed ball, and later scored on a Trevor Lawton sacrifice fly to deep center. 

With momentum back on West Warwick's side, Matt Grenier held Marlboro in the bottom of the fifth inning by retiring the side on two strikeouts and a ground out to end the inning. 

In the top of the sixth inning, West Warwick broke the game open with six runs on three hits, two hit batsmen, two errors, and one walk.

Tyler Boisclair struck out two in a scoreless sixth inning.

Offensively, West Warwick received contributions from Grenier (3/3, one double, one triple, three runs scored, and one r.b.i.), LaMountain (1/2, two runs scored and two walks), Zincone (1/2, double, two runs scored, and one r.b.i.), Boisclair (1/4, one run scord and one r.b.i.), Lawton (1/3, one double and two r.b.i.'s), Pellerin (2/2, one home run, one run scored, and three r.b.i.'s), Henseler (1/3), Moretti (1/1, one run scored), and In (one run scored)

All Star Memories: 

Mike Pellerin, who hit the tournament's first home run over the Green Monster, was named West Warwick's MVP of the game.

Matt Grenier, West Warwick's lead off hitter, has reached base eight consecutive times (three walks, two doubles, two singles, and one triple) in the regional. 

Joe Maynard, who picked up the win, struck out eight batters in 3 2/3 innings of work. 

David LaMountain's diving catch to end the third inning and Kyle Henseler's diving stop to end the fourth inning were two plays worthy of being web gems!

Perhaps the most memorable moment of yesterday's game was when Brian Moretti, who was forced to sit out game one when he was struck in the face during batting practice, lined the first pitch in the top of the third inning for a single to centerfield.   

For some perplexing reason, West Warwick's 14 Year Old All Stars could not overcome adverse "sixth innings" in two losses to Essex, Vermont and Leominster, Massachusetts.  In both games, West Warwick trailed 2-1 after five innings, but could not overcome their miscues.  In two games,West Warwick's pitching staff (Ryan Lawton, Rich Grenier Jr., Jim Thornton, Steven Courtemanche, and Connor Carew) gave up only three earned runs in 14 innings pitched.  Offensively, West Warwick was led by Ryan Lawton (5/8, one double).
