District 18 championship games

July
23

Well it seems that Nanuet will live to play another day. The 10-11 year old softball team defeated South Orangetown last night 10-3 over at the Nanuet Little League. Tony was right about Danielle DiModugno. She was a heck of a pitcher.

Future Section 1 players part II

June

I just saw Nanuet play in the Tournament of Champions and I agree about Janine Mackey. She’s going to be a good windmiller in the future. I also think that Theresa Blumenfeld will be a good shortstop. She’s got good range at the position and a pretty good [...]

My predictions

June
5

I know you’ve probably wondered where I’ve been with my predictions while Tony has been doing all the work. Well, it’s simply because of my scatter brain while working two jobs.
