On Saturday evening August 14th, the New Castle Quake captured the Westchester-Putnam Baseball Association U12+ division championship with a thrilling come-from-behind 10-6 victory over Armonk.

Trailing 5-0 in the third inning, the Quake showed their grit and resiliency with an eight-run, two out eruption to take a lead they would not surrender. Strong pitching and defense shut down the potent Armonk offense, while a majestic Quake two-run HR capped the scoring. 

The championship concluded an enormously successful regular season where the Quake posted a 16-2 first-place record. 

In addition, the Quake competed in a national five-day tournament in Cooperstown, N.Y., playing against teams from California, Texas and Michigan.  Beginning with indoor training in February, the team was piloted by head-coach Peter Cohen and assistants Jeff Neeck, Peter Gadaleta and David Factor.  The championship roster included Luke Cohen, Chris Evanko, Daniel Factor, Paul Gadaleta, Nate Goodman, Griffith Hanlon, Greg Krisberg, Daniel Lazarus, Asher McCabe, Aaron Neeck, Nick Perretti and Joe Raguso.
