Meet Bristol

Pitcher Alyssa Adams has been outstanding in her work in the circle for Bristol, giving up only 4 runs in the two playoff games. Her coaches can't believe this 10-year-old can pitch as fast as she does.
Utility player Madison Bitting may be the smallest player on the team but what she lacks in size, she makes up for with lots of spunk and agility and can play anywhere on the field, even in the circle.
Tianna Brewington is a beast behind the plate. Nothing gets by her, defensively. She is the team's best base runner, power hitter and team clown.
Cara Fabiano almost pitched a no-hitter in a game against Continental, giving up one hit in their last up at-bat. Cara surrendered nary a run in that game.
Desiree Franchitte is a great bat that's fast as lighting with fantastic fielding skills. She went 3-for-4 against Continental.
Center fielder Demeria Jones is quick in the outfield and on the bases.
Third baseman Melissa Marchese has skills with the bat that are sure to impress.
Katie Morris is another small player but don't let that fool you. She is quick like lighting on the bases.
Alexis Mossbrook is another small player not to overlook - she had numerous key hits to produce runs for Bristol.
Shortstop Katie Santana has a great bat, great skills on the field and is an excellent base runner.
Outfielder Jade Stevens is a player with so much power, you wouldn't believe she is only 9 years old. Jade slapped a key 2-run hit against Neshaminy.
Bryanna Vearling is a player that can play infield and outfield, is quick on the bases and made a awesome diving catch in the dirt against Continental in the semifinal.
Haily Biglelow is the icing on the cake. Her dedication and skills are invaluable to the team.
Along with Head Coach Scott Fabiano, Bristol is guided by assistants Steve Bitting and John Scancella. Team Mom Luz Stevens also doubles as the scorekeeper.
