Solebury finishes a fine season

The Solebury Spiders 10-year-old baseball team had a great season, posting a 9-5 record which earned them a playoff berth in the tough 'A' Division of the Suburban Travel League.
The Spiders also posted several big wins over playoffs teams, and many of the losses could have gone either way.
Solebury enjoys playing against the likes of Warrington, which won the Cal Ripken state title at the 10-year-old level. Then in the summer season, the team did well in the Amwell Tournament as an 11-year-old team, before it got rained out.
The squad always loves playing in Amwell, and did well, despite playing a year up in age. The team then entered the Southampton Tournament, and after a tough opening day loss, rebounded with four wins in four days to take the crown as Solebury's bats really came alive.
Spider highlights included an 11-0 win over Tanney, which was undefeated and had won the tournament a year before, a 13-run first inning in the semis against Mount Airy, and a solid 7-2 triumph in the finals against Roslyn.
Solebury then entered the District 30 10-year-old Little League tournament and though they did not win it, had a fabulous time. The Spiders went 4-2 in districts and had a great showing for a solebury squad, as the District 30 teams are always tough teams, and this year, Newtown won the state title for the 10s.
Despite being shorthanded, the squad almost made it through, and really really had great time during the tournament.
For the season, the team got great play from SS/P Nate Wilson, C/SS/P Danny Freeman, C/P Matt Paulus, 1B/P Brendan Shadle, 3B/2B/P Brandon Griffing, 3B/of Matt Fest, CF Jack Mckenna, and Of Andrew Mardirossian. Wilson and Freeman made the All-Star team.
The summer team got great help from Jason Janora, Tucker Wittman, Morgan Shadle, and John Sharkey, and the travel team got big contributions from Danny Doherty and Julian Leistrum.
Thanks to all the parents and brothers/sisters for all the support and Solebury baseball!
