POST 25 ADVANCES TO MID-ATLANTIC REGIONAL FINALS, STATE FINAL VS. RIVER VALE AWAITS FIRST
LYNDHURST, NJ -
THE GURU
The Milltown Post 25 Senior American Legion team has rolled all year long. Hitting some bumps in the road, this talent laden squad has never been jolted off course in search of its' first state title and beyond. This weekend was no exception in the New Jersey State Finals where Post 25 ran the table in the elimination bracket to move onto next week's Mid-Atlantic Regional in Camden (Campbell Field).
Featuring 7 Spotswood Fightin' Chargers on their vaunted roster, Post 25 lost the services of the state's premier power hitter in Chris Affinito (EBHS) during a Game 2 loss to Wayne. Affinito was hit with a pitch in the hand and won't be available for Wednesday nights' State Final vs. River Vale. Despite the loss of Affinito and his 16 homers/49 RBI, the Post 25 Maulers fought gallantly through the elimination bracket defeating Gibbsboro 7-6 in 11 innings. Then, needing a 2-game sweep on Tuesday, Milltown eliminated Brooklawn Post 72 (for the second time in the tourney) 4-2 and gained revenge against Wayne 8-0. It was the 1st time Wayne had been shutout this season and they had averaged 13 runs per game throughout the tournament.
Milltown will go to the Regions for the 1st time in their rich history. With Affinito back and some much needed rest for a ragged pitching staff, the 27-4 Maulers will look to advance to the National Finals in Cedar Rapids, South Dakota the following week, needing 3 wins to do so in the 8-team Region. First a date with 29-0 River Vale waits as there is still some work left in Lyndhurst, as the quest for a state title looms.
