The tournament of Champions; softball

Debbie Schechter
June
25

New City won the second title in the 49th annual Tournament of Champions 1-0 over the Nanuet. These were the same two towns that met in the finals a year ago. But it was the Nanuet Dodgers.

What I want to do is talk about some of the players that could make an impact in the future of Section 1.

Nanuet: Tony Toronto has some solid talent to look to in the nearby future of Nanuet High School. Theresa Blumfeld was someone who I liked last year and my opinion didn’t change. She’s got real soft hands and good range at shortstop. She made every play in the field and could be a solid leader in that infield. My other favorite was catcher Megan Donnelly. She’s got solid hands at the plate and has a strong bat. She’s got a cannon of an arm and can throw out a lot of runners. But what impressed me the most was how she was with pitcher Rebecca Ferro. When you’re a catcher, not only do you have to worry about the game, sometimes you have to be a cheerleader an continue to the pitcher. I sat right by home plate and I heard her encouraging her pitcher and that’s a sign of a good teammate.

New City:I was really impressed with Lauren Capello. Her stuff reminds me a lot of some of the best pitchers that currently pitch on the high school level. Her control was impeccable and she was able to get the strikeouts. If she can develop a couple of other pitchers, she will be a person to watch when she gets to high school. Laura Castaldo was really good at third base. She played aggressively in the field and has a solid stick. I liked the tenacity of catcher Julia Gentile. In her at bats tonight, she showed a lot of tenacity and that attribute will pay off on the high school level.

Unfortunately, I didn’t see Pearl River, Stony Point, or Haverstaw. But I did talk to the manager of the Pearl River Thunder after they played their game against Stony Point. Caroline Kardashian had 14 strikeouts in the game and she’s next in line for Mike Carlacci and the Pirates when she gets into high school. She’s a seventh grader, so she’s the heir apparent to Katie O’Flynn and Kaity Goldrick.

I know I posted yesterday about the state team list but I took it down for a reason and it’s no one else’s business but mine so please don’t ask.

Just let’s all be happy for the recognition that Section 1 got.
