Current Gold National players and Salem High School Sophomores, Maddie Bellavia and Lily Gross, were a heroic duo this past week as Salem avoided a first round post-season upset thanks to these two!

Maddie hit her 200th varsity strikeout, and Lily went 4-4 at the plate with a walk-off triple in the bottom of the 7th! Way to work 🥎🇺🇸

Our 10u team took home the championship this past weekend after an undefeated 6-0!

They brought the bats as the team put up 36 hits. Kasey Pagliccia led with 7, Adriana Chiaradonna had 6, and Stella Nadeau had 5. As a team they hit 9 doubles/triples and drove in 41 RBI’s.

Melanie Rodriguez, Avary DiPerri, and Kasey Pagliccia went to work in the circle. This trio threw 22 innings and struck out 52 batters.

Avary DiPerri and Stella Nadeau both threw runners out trying to steal second, while Reagan Williams played tremendously well at second base.

The 10s are heading to FPN this weekend alongside our 14s team. Great work! 🥎🇺🇸

Our 14u team didn’t miss a beat as they rolled through their first spring/summer tournament this past weekend! A split group, our 14s are coming off spectacular high school seasons while our 13s have been representing their school teams.

With some rain delay, the squad went an undefeated 5-0 to take home the championship. Bianca Piscatelli led with 10 hits, including 4 doubles and a triple. The group as a whole smashed 62 hits and only struck out 5 times across the entire weekend.

Grace Hunter and Isabella Taveira did most of the work in the circle, striking out 27 across 19 innings together. The defense turned 3 double plays to help them out.

Our 14s going to have an amazing summer! 🥎🇺🇸

Our 12u team is on a tear! This group won 7 straight games this weekend to take home the championship!

Reagan Stephen was a force through semifinals and finals, as she pitched both games. Efficiency was key in semifinals when she threw a 2-hit shutout and only threw 47 pitches across 6 innings. She threw 17 innings on the weekend with 15 K’s.

12u is off this weekend but looking to continue their streak at a 14u tournament the weekend after. Great work 12s! 🥎🇺🇸
