11u Blaze holds off Lancaster Black to finish regular season 8-0!

The boys battled hard against a tough Lancaster Depew team and finished the regular Clarence Sunday League season with a 8-0 record, guaranteeing at least a tie for first place. It was a hot day in Westwood Park, but the fundamentally sound Blaze manufactured runs at the end and were able to outlast their opponents. With already one out, the leadoff and second hitters did their job and got on base in the sixth, with the score close at 6-5. Rob bunted in Mike to go ahead by two, before the Lancaster pitching shut us down. In the sixth, despite some great pitching, the opponent surged back with a run and had two on base when Luis made a spectacular diving catch in short center field to end the game, winning 7-6. What a great way to spend Father's Day! The Blaze look forward to the upcoming tournament season and league playoffs.

The 11u Blaze had a great all around effort and defeated Lou Gehrig Blue by a score of 6-1 at Shoshone Park. Timely picthing and bunting were among the highlights, as the boys moved to their best start ever and remain firmly tied in first place with Lancaster Blue. Thanks to all those who came out to watch! What a beautiful day at the park.

Another close one against Lakeview, another 7-6 win

In a strange happening,the Blaze 11u boys played Lakeview again, and had the same result, a 7-6 win! Again,the Lakeview team hit hard, and we struggled though the first few innings when it seemed t hat we hit line drive after line drive into waiting gloves. The comeback was started in full force when Teddy hit a three run homer to send the park into a frenzy. After falling behind again by two, the top of the order got on base and Mateo scored on a hit from Griff to bring us within one. Connor hit a walk off single that scored Rob and Griff for the win.

North Buffalo defeats Lakeview in close game, 7-6

The Blaze defeated a tough, hard hitting Lakeview team. Down after the first inning, the boys rallied back and took a 6-2 lead. When this collapsed in the fifth, the boys came back with a run and then held on to win. Great pitching again foiled the opponents for most of the game. Great job boys!

North Buffalo stays in first place, beats OP 11-2

The Blaze blazed through Orchard Acres Park by defeating the Orchard Park Bulldogs by a score of 11-2. Six different pitchers held the opponent to only two tallies despite flashes of offense by OP. The Blaze fielders supported their hurlers with smart play and quick counters, catching several unsuspecting runners off guard. The hitting continues to be better than last season. Great job boys! The Blaze are now off until Friday May 18 when they face Lakeview on the road.
