WILMINGTON, MA — Below are recent Wilmington Little League game summaries.
Farm League:
Athletics vs. Braves — Tuesday, May 24, 2016
The A’s and Braves had a great/fun game. The A’s had great performances from many players. Every player on the team has shown great improvement throughout the year. Nolan Gouthro and Kyle Tibbetts had several solid hits. Gavin Burke would have had a solid double up the middle if the coaches leg didn’t get in the way. Timmy Watson and Roman Synnott each pitched an inning showing excellent control and velocity. Aidan Largenton was excellent in three innings as catcher in addition to having some good hits. The Braves played a very well rounded game, with timely offense, solid defense, and great baserunning. The game started with some great plays in the field. The first play of the game was a line drive catch by Pat DeLucia, while playing shortstop. Another notable defensive play was a nice ground ball scoop and unassisted out at second base by Chase Heffernan. Offensively, there were many great hits from Nolan Richards, Alex D’Angelo, Dominic Dicenso, and Ethan Afthim. Special recognition for fifth inning defensive plays by Luke Kitanov and Matt Driscoll. Luke played the pitching position and fielded three consecutive plays, throwing out the runner to Driscoll, the first baseman.

A little sun in the eyes wasn’t enough to slow the Astros’ bats. James Passerini, Erin McCarthy, and Isaac Tavares went five-for-five, Justin Fricia, Ryan Gray, and Roman DiZoglio added four hits each, and Chris DeFilippo, Evan Cummings, Mikey Taylor, and Connor Sullivan added more to the offense.
