Little League 11 Gold Wins the Suburban League Championship Coaches nickname the team “The Comeback Kids”
The summer season began
with high hopes for the Weymouth Little League Eleven Year Old Gold All Stars. For many of the players, this was their fourth
summer together as a team. The
11 Gold team included Zach Bouhov, Andrew Clark, Domenic DePaoli, Sam Edge, David Erwin, Andrew Giovanetti, TJ Keefe, Sean
Kennedy, Alex Kennedy, Jimmy Kurciviecz, Kevin McGrath, Xenon Simene and Will Spring. The team was coached byTom Keefe, Kevin
McGrath and John Erwin.
The team finished with
8 wins and 2 losses in the Suburban League and qualified for the playoffs. Weymouth opened the double-elimination format
with a victory against Medfield and a tough loss to Wellesley.
It
was beginning with the next game that Weymouth earned their nickname the “Comeback Kids”. Down by four runs to
Westwood, they chipped away to force a tie in the sixth inning. Zach Bouhov stepped
to the plate and drilled a walk-off two-run home run to complete the comeback.
They spotted Quincy two runs before tieing
the game in the fourth inning. Quincy fought back and took a two run lead in the seventh. The
coaches pulled the team together and told them to believe in themselves. They are the Comeback Kids. The team took it to
heart. Dom DePaoli led off with a double to right field. Andrew Clark stroked a double to plate Dom. Andrew
represented the tying run, Sam Edge needed to bunt him to third. He fouled off two pitches for strikes. Sam
dropped down a beautiful two strike bunt to move Andrew to third. The next batter, TJ
Keefe hit a hard grounder between third and short and the game was tied. Will Spring hit a double to left,
moving TJ to third. Alex Kennedy was walked to load the bases. Zack Bouhov stepped up
and smacked a line drive base hit scoring TJ Keefe for another extra inning walk off win. The big win gave them the opportunity to
play undefeated Wellesley.
Weymouth
found themselves tied at one in the sixth inning. In the top of the inning, Alex Kennedy hit a clutch two run home run
to give Weymouth a 3 -1 lead.
They held on and the Comeback Kids were headed
to the finals.
Weymouth faced Hanover
in the finals. Hanover had dealt Weymouth one of their two regular season losses and would be a tough opponent.
In the biggest game of the playoffs, Weymouth defeated Hanover by a final score of 10 to 5 to take home the Suburban
League Championship.
