WEST SIDE 9-10'S DEFEAT NORTH RIVERDALE 7-2
TO WIN DISTRICT 23 CHAMPIONSHIP
Inwood, NY July 25th 2004
Mathew Nunez singled, doubled, tripled and drove in 5 runs to lead the
Westside 9-10s to the District 23 Championship today at Ken DeGroat
field in Inwood Hill Park before a standing room only crowd of 250.
Westside unleashed a blistering 10 hit attack. David Kagan (1-1, 3 walks,
run scored) set the tone with a lead off line drive single and the Westies
attack never stopped. Chris Golston (2-4 , 2 runs scored) launched a
scorching line drive double into the gap to set the table for a three run
third inning with additional RBI's by Alex Antiuk and Jarobi Moorehead. Jake
Orbison drove in a run in the 5th to put Westside up 5-2. Nunez's triple off
the fence in the 6th drove in 2 insurance runs that put the game way out of
reach for Riverdale.
The Westside defense was flawless again with solid pitching performances by
starter Moorehead and 2.3 innings of scoreless relief by Kagan. Riverdale's
only runs scored on a wild pitch and a walk as Westside pitching scattered 6
singles. In the 3rd inning with the bases loaded and Riverdale threatening
to get close, Moorehead induced the batter to hit the ball back through the
box for a 1-2-3 (Moorehead-Kai Glick-Kagan) double play. Glick
gunned down his 6th base stealer of the tournament in the 4th to clear the
bases.
