Huntingdon Valley (HV) completed a 4-0 recorded in winning the 2009 Roslyn 9 year old championship. HV had 1 close on the road to the perfect record which was in the 2nd round against Upper Dublin. HV fell behind East Abington (EA) early in the game and was trailing 2-0 after the 1st inning and 3-2 going into the home 2nd but but up 3 runs in the bottom of the inning and 11 runs in the home 3rd to mercy rule EA 16-3.
In the top of the First EA scored 2 runs off of Bryce Horn (3 IP, 7 K's). In the bottom of the inning HV loaded the bases with walks to Matt Acker (1 for 2, 2 RBI's), Jordan Leiber (1 for 2, 2 RBI's, 9 for 13 in tournament) and Horn 1 for 1, 3 RBI's). With 2 outs Brock Landes (2 for 3, 4 RBI's) smoked a 2 run single to put HV on the board and tie the game at 2.
The 2nd inning EA scored a run to take a 3-2 lead. HV bounced right back and put 3 on the board with walks to Acker, Horn and Harrison Roesser and managed to put 3 runs on the board with very aggressive base running and take a 5-3 lead.
In the top of the 3rd EA went down in order. The bottom of the inning HV put together its most impressive inning of the season. Walks to John Martindale (2 Walks), and Johnnie Armentani set up Jordan Leibers gaping 2 run double to right center field. Horn followed with a blast over the right fielders head that rolled to the fence for a stand up 2 run double as well. Roesser then walked which brought Landes (aka: Loose Change) to the plate. Landes continued his offensive breakout with a 2 run single. Martindale walked again for the 2nd time in the inning and Victor Tang walked as well which set up a 2 run single off the bat of the team leader Acker. The scoring ended when Horn hit a laser beam at the shortstop for a force play at 2nd but scored a run on the play.
The top of the 4th inning EA went down 1-2-3 to end the game due to the Mercy rule.
