New Canaan Youth Baseball Roundup: May 11
|
The Cubs were the big winners in the AA Division last week, as two wins over the Braves pulled them to within a game of the league-leading Reds and Mets. Meanwhile in the hotly contested AA Division the Yankees took over the top spot, moving a half-game in front of the previously unbeaten Athletics. Here is a look at some of last week’s action on the New Canaan youth diamonds.
AAA
Cubs–5; Braves-4
The Oxygen Fitness Braves and Camsan Electric Cubs opened their season with a 5-4 barnburner, won by the Cubs. The Braves grabbed the lead early. Peter Jardim ripped a single before Matthew Benevento crushed a triple to deep center. The Cubbies took the lead back in the 2nd, as Mike Sanseverino and Nick Garcia led-off with singles, and were driven home by Matt Balkun and Ryan Werneburg. The Braves would grab the lead again when Carson Perlman laced a single to center to drive home Will Galvan and Jardim. But the Cubs would again rally. Werneburg knocked in Balkun, and Sanseverino drew a bases-loaded walk to grab a 5-4 lead.
