SUMMER SIZZLER CHAMPION
Westfield Bobcats
WESTFIELD – The victory tour continues…
If winning five straight games, including a 10-0 thrashing of Frontier to win the 16U Mickey Mantle championship at Deerfield Academy a week ago wasn’t enough, the Westfield Bobcats have delivered an encore performance.
Westfield went 2-0 in the Southwick Sizzler baseball event and beat the North East Dragons 13-4 in the finals to capture yet another trophy. The Bobcats will wrap up their summer run when they travel to Connecticut Aug. 12-13 to compete in the War at the Shore.
The Westfield Bobcats are comprised of former Babe Ruth World Series players, and two players (Aidan Burke, Jack Lamirande) from St. Mary High School’s state championship squad.
BRIGHT LIGHTS, BIG CITY: NE Dragons 16U’s Bart “Big City” Shea, of Southwick recent accomplished a big feat, blasting a home run during his team’s Perfect Game Tournament appearance in the BCS National Championship July 17-23.
Shea’s dinger off an elite Texas ball club pitcher, Murucci southpaw Casen Holden, cleared the left field wall and traveled out of City of Palms Park in Fort Meyers, Florida. The park served as the spring training facility for the Boston Red Sox from 1993 to 2011 and is currently the home of the Florida Southwestern State College Buccaneers.
Shea also tossed six complete innings of two-hit ball to go along with seven strikeouts in leading his team to an 11-5 win July 20.
