Arizona, the only unbeaten team in the USA Pool, spotted New Jersey, a 6-0 lead before battling back for a 10-8 win on Thursday night.

Arizona got four in the second, including a home run by Cody Erickson, and took a 7-6 lead in the fourth, which featured doubles by Jimmy DiTroia, Erickson and Michael DeRegis.
Arizona added two in the fifth on a two-run homer by DiTroia for a 9-6 lead. New Jersey added a run in the fifth. Both teams scored in the seventh. DiTroia, Erickson and Dylan Cozens had three hits apiece for the winners and combined for six runs and nine RBI. Garced went 3-for-4 and scored twice for New Jersey.

I'm sure you’re all proud of the success the MVLL “All Star” teams have had this year.  Very few leagues can say they have sent a team to the Little League World Series. 

The downside to this is that there are expenses to send the teams to the tournaments, and the further they go, the more costs we incur.  The expenses of the successful tournament run by both the Seniors and the Juniors, as well as the costs from the important addition of our new fabulous snack bar have essentially drained the coffers of MVLL.  In other words, WE NEED TO RAISE MONEY.    

I’m sending you this email to ask for your donations.  Please consider sending in a check for anything you can.  Also, please consider soliciting donations from local companies. 

Checks can be made out to MVLL and sent to:

Thanks for your consideration.  Go MVLL Juniors!
