It was a true pitcher’s duel, with both starters—Max Packer for Rocky Hill and Gabriel Simon for the Wahoos—pitching into the 6th with 23 combined strikeouts. Gabriel got some help in the field with a spectacular play at shortstop by Henry Helge, who snagged a line drive to end a threat in the 4th inning.
The lone run came on a double in the second inning by Gabriel, who stole third two pitches later and swiped home on an errant throw. With Teddy Bonafonte securing the win with a pair of K’s,
Oliver Edwards, who masterfully caught all six innings, ran out to the mound and jumped into Teddy’s arms as the team celebrated the third straight GHFBL 12U championship for WHLL.
