June 30 Summary:

Junior BB New Tampa:  Won 7 - 6  over Land O'Lakes

An exciting game.  New Tampa never led until the end.  With bases loaded and down a run Joe Scicchitano put the ball in play they forced our runner out at home but threw the ball away allowing Derek French to score the tying run and Jason Canada to score the winning run.  Carter Gay had a great day out in Center Field catching everything hit to him.  John Berg, Tristan Deluna, Eric Kaminski, Brian Morand and Jason Canada led the hitting.  Sidney Adams once again showed his speed as he beat out a routine ground ball and then on the subsequent pitches scored.  Sidney brought New Tampa new life and we kept going from there.  Tristan Deluna also beat out a sure out that set up New Tampa for its initial scoring.  Alec Cordero came in to pitch and for 3 innings held the bats of Land O Lakes at bay.  Brian Morand came in the top of the 7^th and completely dominated and shut them down such that New Tampa stayed in the game.  Jonathan Nieves while still keeping score became New Tampa’s biggest cheerleader and kept the team fired up. 

Little League BB New Tampa:  Lost  2 - 4  to Temple Terrace 

The NTLL offense faced a great Temple Terrace pitcher and despite having some opportunites, were unable to generate much offense.  Congrats to these kids for a great season.

Little League SB New Tampa:  Won  13 - 1  over Land O'Lakes

NTLL DISTRICT 25 CHAMPIONS!! Move on to the Section IV Tournament.

Meagan Bell was 2 for 3, Alyssa Wash, Lauren Bimonte and Reed Jahnke had a hit each.  Defensively, Meagan Bell came up firing from center field to throw out a runner trying to score. Maddy Hall threw a Land O' Lakes hitter out at first from center field.  (at least that is what the ump said)  Kamryn pitched 2 solid innings, Lauren gave us a 3 up, 3 down third inning and Meagan pitched the 4th giving up 1 run. For the 3 District games, the girls had 33 hits and 38 total runs with only 7 strikeouts.  The opponents only came up with 8 hits, 6 runs and had 24 strikeouts.

June 29 Summary:

Little League BB New Tampa:  Lost  6 - 15  to Land O'Lakes

A Three hour rain delay and change of venue made for a rough night. NTLL struggled defensively and a good Land O Lakes team took full advantage of their opportunities.  Next game Wednesday against Temple Terrace.

10/11 BB New Tampa:  Won  9 - 5  over Land O'Lakes Blue

New Tampa faced our toughest game to date versus a strong and talented Land O Lakes team. Batting first we were able to manufacture a run on a Jeffrey Guttentag game-opening double and 2 batters later Ethan Thomas drove him in with a sacrifice fly. Land O Lakes took the lead in the bottom of the 1^st, 3 – 1. The top of the 2^nd started with a Spencer McCabe double, then with 1 out the lightning started and then came the rain. After a 2 ½ hour delay, and lots of field work by NTLL board members, we started again at 10pm. We traded a couple of runs including an Ethan Thomas HR (his 2^nd of the tournament). Facing a dominating Land O Lakes relief pitcher and down 5 – 2 in the top of the 5^th inning, New Tampa was primed to make a come back. With Jeffrey reaching on an error and Aaron Guiang coaxing a walk, Ethan followed with a RBI single making it 5 – 3. Then Clayton Coringrato hit a 3 run HR (his 4^th of the tourney), possibly ripping a hole in the roof of a house behind field #3. With a 6 – 5 lead we added 3 insurance runs in the top of the 6^th inning by batting around for the 2^nd inning in a row. The defense was strong the entire night with leather being flashed all over the diamond, including several great plays at second base by Mikey Culumber. Eddie Thinger caught 5 strong innings behind the dish and Brian Seybold didn’t miss a beat with his time at catcher. Henry Havre and Tyler Woody continue with timely contributions. New Tampa pitching was strong again with Dominic Diaz pitching before the rain and Ethan coming on in relief for a strong 1 2/3 innings after the delay. Bryce Martin closed the game in what can best be described as a shut down performance. He pitched 3 1/3 innings on 39 pitches with 7 strikeouts, including striking out the side in the 4^th inning. 

New Tampa advances to the Championship game.

June 28 Summary:

Senior BB New Tampa:  Won  18 - 0 over Dade City

New Tampa Senior baseball team beat Land O' Lakes 15 -5 in a game delayed over two hours by rain. Colin Brich took a perfect game into the 6th inning before the long night finally got to him. Zack Zaversnik came in to get the last out in the top of the 6th. New Tampa scored six runs in the bottom of the 6th to end the game. Alex Kranick, Matt Miller, Brian Karmann and Carl Fombrun had two hits a piece for NTLL. Other hits were provided by Will Ferguson, Ryan Lawson and Colin Brich. The team again played outstanding defense throughout the game.

June 27 Summary:

Junior BB New Tampa:  Won 15 - 0  over Zephyhills 

New Tampa Junior All Stars beat Zephyrhills 15 – 5 in 5 innings.  New Tampa started out shaky and gave up 5 runs in the top of the first.  But great pitching from Anthony Grampietro and Brian Morand shut Zephyrhills down the rest of the way.  Sidney (Speedy Gonzales)  Adams walked to lead off the bottom of the first, they tried to pick him off and he ended up scoring all the way from first, setting the tone for New Tampa.  Jason Canada and Brian Morand powered the ball deep into the outfield again knocking in 5 runs between them.  Tristan Deluna had 2 great hits including the walk off double to win the game.  Alec Cordero made 2 great plays in the outfield and had 2 hits.  Once again Jonathan Nieves did a superb job with the book in the dugout, he did need a little medical attention because he was getting writers cramp.  He was quoted as saying “he did not write this much when he was in school”.  New Tampa plays Land O Lakes on Wednesday.

Little League BB New Tampa:  Won  11 - 1 over Zephyhills

Three home runs highlighted an 11 run day for NTLL.  Kishan Patel had two blasts and Jonathan Baughman added a three run shot. Next game Thursday against Land O Lakes.

10/11 BB New Tampa:  Won  16 - 0  over Lutz Red 

New Tampa had another scorcher today both with the weather and the bats. After a quick defensive inning in the top of the 1^st, New Tampa batted around in the bottom of the first and scored 11 runs. Jeffrey Guttentag, Aaron Guiang and Clayton Coringrato all scored twice in the 1^st inning. Aaron, Mikey Culumber and Dominic Diaz all had one RBI each and Eddie Thinger (2), Ethan Thomas (2) and Clayton (4) had multiple RBI’s in the 1^st inning. The power continued today with 3 more home runs. Aaron Guiang hit is 2^nd of the tournament and Clayton hit his 2^nd and 3^rd of the tourney, with his 1^st shot of the day possibly landing in Pasco County! Spencer McCabe, Tyler Woody and Brian Seybold continue to play flawlessly. Our pitching staff continues to push each other in a friendly competition of dominance. Dominic started the game pitching 2 masterful innings with only 1 hit allowed and 5 strikeouts, striking out the side in the 2^nd inning. Ethan followed that by striking out the side in the 3^rd on 12 pitches. Bryce Martin closed the game out 3 up and 3 down in the 4^th with Henry Havre making a great game-ending play from 3^rd to 1^st. Up next for New Tampa is Land O Lakes on Tuesday June 29^th at 7pm.

June 24 Summary:

9/10 BB New Tampa National (Price):  Lost  6 - 10 to Temple Terrace

The long nights finally caught up to the New Tampa National team as their tournament ended in a 10-6 loss to Temple Terrace. New Tampa had solid pitching from Aaron Muench and Ricardo Viloria, but a couple mental and physical miscues - along with a sluggish offense - were just too much to overcome. Temple Terrace held the powerful New Tampa offense to just 1 run for the first 5 innings. New Tampa's offense came alive in the 6th, but it was just a little too late. Ricardo and Aaron both scored, as well as Frank Scarchilli, Tyler Coffey and Simon Carapella. We saw a couple defensive gems from Luke Paulson who made a diving catch to kill a rally and end the 1st inning, and Ethan Sutton who made a play at the plate as Temple Terrace ran a delayed steal trying to score the game clinching run in the bottom of the 4th. New Tampa also saw great effort from Kyle Fontenot, Greg Taylor, Connor Price, Kyler Peterson, and Evan Tiller. It's been said that you can tell a person's character by how they handle defeat. These young men exemplified great character. All of New Tampa should be proud of these young men and how well they represented our league and our community.

June 23 Summary:

9/10 BB New Tampa National (Price):  Won  34 - 16 to over Lutz Red

The long nights continue for the New Tampa National team - 3 1/2 hours to play the 6 inning game. This time it wasn't rain or lightning, it was a scrappy Lutz Red team that just continued to fight back. Each time the New Tampa National team built what appeared to be a comfortable lead, the boys from Lutz would scratch back. As they say "the game was a lot closer than the score would indicate." It wasn't until the last inning when Lutz ran out of pitching that New Tampa put the game out of reach scoring all their runs on walks and a few very long singles - new Tampa did not have an extra base hit in the last inning. The 6th inning was also the only inning in which New Tampa held Lutz scoreless. The offensive explosion was led by Kyle Fontenot - 5 for 6 w/ 6 runs scored; Greg Taylor - 4 for 6 w/ 5 runs scored; Ricardo Viloria - 2 for 4 w/ 4 runs scored; Simon Carapella - 4 for 6 w/ 3 runs scored; Kyler Peterson - 4 for 6 w/ 3 runs; Ethan Sutton - 2 for 2 w/ 3 runs scored; and Connor Price - 1 for 4 w/ 3 runs. New Tampa also had some stellar defensive plays. Luke Paulson showed great range at second base robbing Lutz of an RBI single. Aaron Muench also made an inning ending - rally killing - play at 1st to pull New Tampa out of a big jam. New Tampa used 6 pitchers who combined for throwing 62% of their pitches for strikes. The pitching accuracy was led by Tyler Coffey and Evan Tiller who were both threw 75% of their pitches for strikes. Frank Scarchilli closed out the game striking out 2 of the 3 batters he faced.  

9/10 BB New Tampa American (Rubin):  Lost  5 - 6 to Temple Terrace 

New Tampa American showed a great deal of character in losing to Temple Terrace and
unfortunately being eliminated in the tournament.  New Tampa American came to play after
a tough couple of nights prior which included starting a game at Temple Terrace Little League
and driving up to Dade City Little League to try and play the game.  After torrential rain and strong
lightning in both places the game was finally called and restarted Tuesday night which resulted
in a loss to LOL Blue.  On Wednesday the boys gave it a great effort but ended up losing a well
played game by both teams.  New Tampa American runs were scored by Jonathan Rodrigues,
Nicholas Dicecco(2), AJ Andrews, and Tripp Dillon.  Zach Novo contributed a nice sacrifice bunt
to put runners in scoring position in the first inning and a key RBI to put New Tampa ahead 5-4 in
the top of the 5^th.  Outstanding pitching was turned in by starter Patrick Cheuvront and Sam Chronister
who came in relief with runners on base.  Strong defensive plays were made by outfielders Kevin
Gallagher and Luke Ford, first baseman Joey Bosio and catcher Jacob Rubin.  The boys battled
to the very end but unfortunately the Baseball Gods weren’t with us on a couple of pivotal plays.

Once again, the young National team patiently waited out a couple lightning delays before another big win, beating Zephyrhills 17-1 in a 4 inning game. The offensive production was led by Ricardo Viloria who hit 2 home runs. While all 9 spots in the order produced, other key contributors on offense were: Simon Carapella - 2 for 3 with 4 runs scored; Kyle Fontenot - 3 for 4 with 3 runs scored; and Connor Price - 3 for 4 with 2 doubles. Tyler Coffey added to the offensive production with a key base hit and a run scored. Frank Scarchilli and Kyler Peterson provided our pitchers with great defensive plays at 3rd base. The pitching performance was led off by Ethan Sutton, who pitched a shutout out 1st inning. Greg Taylor and Evan Tiller came on in relief in the 2nd and 3rd inning to continue the shutout. Luke Paulson relieved Evan and pitched out of a jam in the 3rd - runners on 2nd and 3rd. Finally, Aaron Muench closed out the game after inheriting a bases loaded situation in the 4th.  

9/10 BB New Tampa American (Rubin):  Lost 1 - 24 to Land O'Lakes Blue


June 20 Summary:

9/10 BB New Tampa National (Price):  Won 21 - 10 to Land O'Lakes Blue   

Another long day at the ball park for the National team - a 5 hour rain delay and over 7 hours from start to finish. However, the delay didn't seem to bother the National team as the offensive exploded for 21 runs in a little over 3 innings. The offense was led by Greg Taylor and Connor Price who each went 4-for-4. Greg Scored 3 times and Connor scored 4. A few other offensive stars were Kyler Peterson, 3-for3 w/ 4 runs scored; Simon Carapella, 3-for-4 w/ 3 runs scored; Kyle Fontenot, 2-for-3 w/ 3 runs scored; and Aaron Muench, 2-for-2 w/ 2 doubles and 4 RBIs (including a walk off 2 RBI double). Ethan Sutton also contributed with a 2 RBI single.  Michael Stone started on the hill and pitched a strong 1 2/3 innings. The defense was lead by heads up plays by Ricardo Viloria, Evan Tiller, Luke Paulson and Tyler Coffey. Frank Scarchilli pitched the 4th inning closing out the game.  

June 19 Summary:

9/10 BB New Tampa National (Price):  Lost 9 - 10 to Lutz Blue  

After 90 minutes in rain delays, and nearly 5 hrs of total time the New Tampa Nationals team lost a heart breaker to the Lutz Blue team: 10-9 in seven innings. New Tampa had stellar pitching from Ricardo Viloria - 14 pitches to open the game, and Aaron Muench - 35 pitches in 2 innings of shutout baseball. The offense was led by timely hitting and heads up base running from Simon Carapella and Kyle Fontenot - who each scored twice, and Frank Scarchilli who had a clutch triple down the right field line. Michael Stone, Kyler Peterson and Luke Paulson also scored for the New Tampa Nationals. Tyler Coffey helped prevent a double play with great hustle down the first base line. The defense was led by inning saving catches by Connor Price -  1 diving catch and 1 running back to the fence, Evan Tiller and Greg Taylor. Ethan Sutton threw out a runner trying to steal second and caught 5 solid innings behind the plate. 

9/10 BB New Tampa American (Rubin):  Won 15 - 5 over Land O'Lakes Gold  

New Tampa American took a 2-0 lead after the first inning.  After a 90 minute rain delay LOL gold came back to tie.  New Tampa American went up 3-2 in the top of the 4th only to have LOL take a 4-3 lead in the bottom of the fourth.  The game was kept close with a great defensive play to end the bottom of the 4th on a throw home from Center Fielder Zach Novo to Catcher Jacob Rubin.  After giving up another run in the bottom of the 5th to fall behind 5-3, AJ Andrews made a nice catch in right field to end any further scoring.  With one out and nobody on, trailing 5-3 in the top of the 6th New Tampa American exploded for 12 runs to take a 15-5 lead and closed it out in the bottom of the 6th for the victory.  New Tampa American received stellar pitching from Patrick Cheuvront who started and worked into the 4th inning.  He was followed up in relief by Sam Chronister who kept the game close and Nicholas Dicecco who closed out the victory.  The offense was lead with 2 hits each by Jonathan Rodrigues, Patrick Cheuvront, Joey Bosio, and Jacob Rubin.  It was a total team effort on offense with each spot in the batting order scoring at least 1 run.  Stellar offensive and defensive contributions were also made by Luke Ford, Tripp Dillon and Kevin Gallagher.
