tournament at the Sportsplex in N. Branford by taking a double-header on
Saturday to win the consolation bracket. After losing the first two contests
of the tournament on Thursday and Friday, the team bounced back with a
dominating performance by Zach Daidone on the mound. Daidone took a
perfect game into the 5th inning against Team USA out of Massachusetts
and finished with a 2 hit, complete game shutout, striking out 4 on the way
to a 7-0 victory. The offense was impressive as well as the top of the
lineup led the way. Alex Sato was 1-3 with a run scored, Mike Paonessa
was 2-3 with a walk and 2 runs, and Luis Serrano went 2-4 with 2 runs
and 2 rbi.
In game 2, the Team Connecticut Blue Jays dominated yet again, beating
the CT Starters 13-0 in a mercy rule game that lasted 4 innings. Ryan
Estrella continued his impressive pitching by throwing a no-hitter with 4
K's. Estrella has given up just one hit in his last 11 innings pitched. The
hitting was stellar yet again as every player in the starting lineup reached
base and scored at least 1 run. Adam Pratson went 1-1 with a walk and a
HBP, scoring 2 runs and driving in 1. Enzo Cardillo went 1-2 with 2 runs
and 2 rbi. Ned Wood was 1-2 with a walk, a run, and an rbi.
The Jays will be in action this week on Wednesday as they take on the CT
Starters in Hamden and Friday against the CT Storm at UNH.
