Kyle's Bridgeport Little League Senior Team has gone on a tear in their tournament season as they were able to win the District 22 championship winning 6 straight.
The next weekend they entered the Section championship tournament and again went undefeated giving them the Section 8 championship and a trip to the state tournament in Emporium PA.
We are here at the tournament and the boys have continued their winning ways. In their first game against Newville the team was able to bounce back from a first inning injury to their starting right fielder Nick Vuotto when he collided with the first baseman while trying to leg out a hit. The first baseman jumped to catch the throw and landed on Nick's shin breaking his tibial and fibula. Ray Gambone pitched 6 innings of one hit, one run baseball and got a two run double by Mike Popowitz on their way to 10-2 victory.
The entire team and parents went to the hospital to visit Nick after the game. Nick will be having surgery on Monday at CHOP to have a rod placed in his leg.
Kyle came into pitch the last inning and walked two batters with nobody out. The coach, Mike Popowitz, then came out to talk to Kyle and asked him "Are you trying to make me crap my pants?" Kyle then settled down and finished the inning without giving up a run and striking the last kid looking with a nice curve ball.
Kyle played center field when he wasn't pitching and went 1-3 with a single.
