12U Gold Are Williamsport Lumber Yard Tournament Champions!
🏆 Williamsport Weekend Recap 🏆
Congratulations to Coach Brian Villanova’s 12U Gold squad who traveled to Williamsport, PA this weekend for the Williamsport Lumber Yard Tournament and put together an incredible performance. The boys outscored their opponents 31-9, earning the No. 1 overall seed after pool play, and a spot in the championship game.
The team was declared tournament Co-Champions after heavy rains washed out the finals on Sunday.
No team, however, could match Gold’s intensity and heart. The team now has 27 victories on the season, with 6 Championship finals appearances and 2 championships!
As a bonus, the team also had the chance to visit the legendary Lamade Stadium, home of the Little League World Series, which kicks off later this month. It was an unforgettable experience.
Congratulations to our players and families on another outstanding weekend.

Congratulations to Antonio Reda’s 16U Red who took Ripken Myrtle Beach by storm this week.

The team continued their winning ways in the playoffs, advancing all the way to the Semifinals before losing a 5-4 heartbreaker.
All week long, 16U Red’s pitching and defense were outstanding. The bats were on fire as well, with the team racking up 38 runs in pool play alone.
Besides great baseball on the field, amazing memories were made off the field: ocean, pool, boardwalk, amusement park, all-you-can-eat Brazilian buffet, fishing, speed boat rides, and Top Golf, just to name a few. The team and their families had the best time.
Coach Antonio Reda: “The team has been in existence since 7U, with most of the team still intact. Besides Cooperstown, Myrtle Beach Week-long Ripken is by far the next best team experience. The boys impressed all week. They were Elite on and off the field.”
Well said Coach Antonio!
Great job Players, Coaches and Families!

UNDISPUTED CHAMPS!
9 years together, 50 CHAMPIONSHIPS!
Congratulations to 15U National on winning The Rock’s Mid-Summer Classic Tournament Championship tonight!
The pitching was phenomenal all weekend. Jack Tringale dominated in game 1, throwing a 1 hitter, striking out 13!
In game 2, Nick Kurg threw a complete game, giving up 4 hits, 6 strikeouts.
In today’s semifinals game, Spencer Izenman threw a no-hitter, striking out 14!
And in the Championship, as he has done many times in the past, Mikey Montijo took the mound and brought home the Championship. Mikey threw a complete game, giving up only 3 hits, giving up only 1 earned run, striking out 7!
There were big hits all weekend. Some highlights was the unforgettable walk off hit bottom 7 in semifinals by Ray Burdette.. In the championship game, Jake Myers lead off with a HR. Matt Villalta added a 2 run HR as well. Ben Reim had a clutch 2 RBI hit to go ahead in the win. Jayden Figueroa added 3 hits too.
This win marks the team’s 50th Championship of all-time. An unbelievable feat by the kids.
And we can’t forget the Coaches. For 9 years head coach Kevin Reim and assistant coach Mike Montijo have proven to be two of the top travel ball baseball coaches in the county. Winning doesn’t measure the Coach. But to have continued success, and continued development of all their players, on and off the field, is proof positive they are two of the best around.
Not many travel teams can say they have been together for 9 years with the core intact. And not many can say in all those years, they batted the entire lineup almost every single game. And, no one can say their team has won 50 championships, except one. 15U National.
Congratulations to all the Players, Coaches and Parents. Truly a remarkable day.
Great job by all!
Go Elite!!
