Conor Walsh will be representing Wayne and Region 3 in the American Legion All East Showcase in Harrisburg on July 15th. He was selected over hundreds of players in region.

Wayne Win Streak Snapped at Five
June 14, 2009
Wayne welcomed Olney to Odorisio Park on Sunday and saw there five game win streak snapped. The Redbirds put up four first inning runs and held on for a 6-5 victory. Wayne pulled within one run in the third but Olney answered back with two more runs in the top of the fourth to make a 6-3 lead. In the bottom of the fourth Wayne loaded the bases with no outs. John McCann (Shipley) and Rob Collins (Radnor) walked. Frank Fanto's (St Joseph's Prep) sacrafice bunt allowed him to reach first base safely because no one was covering the base. Marcus VonHertsenberg (Radnor) recorded the first out with a strikeout. Conor Walsh (Radnor) came to the plate and blasted a line drive right at the first baseman who then doubled off Fanto on firstbase to end the threat. Offensively, Corey Rogoff (Shipley), Sean Murphy (St. Joseph's Prep), Frank Fanto and Adam Settle (Harriton) had the only hits for Wayne. Ryan Kraus (Arizona)and Anthony Knight (Radnor) pitched three combined scoreless innings to keep the game within reach. Wayne drops to 9-3 on the year and resumes league play this week with games against Norwood, Haverford and Narberth.

June 8, 2009
Wayne held on for a wild 11-9 win on Sunday night and outlasted non-league opponent Caln on a hot and muggy night. Kyle Kopp (Radnor) pitched four brilliant shutout innings earning the win. Kopp only gave up two hits and struck out six before falling victim to a six run fifth inning. Sean Grimes (Ursinus) picked up a hold going 1 1/3 innings of relief and Adam Settle picked up the save getting the last two outs of the game with runners on second and third. The offense was led by Adam Settle (Harriton) 2-2 and 3 runs scored and 3 RBI's, John McCann (Shipley) 3-3 and 2 stolen bases, Spencer Holm (Radnor) 2-4. Wayne who never trailed in the game opened up with 8-0 lead into the fifth. Caln battled back to make it 8-6, but Wayne answered with three runs in the top of the seventh to put them ahead for good. Adam Settle blasted a 1-0 fastball to right-field for a double to score Alex Scupper (Harriton) and Anthony Knight (Radnor) with what would be the eventual game winner. The team will now jump into league action this week with games against Clifton, Broomall and Aston. The team improved there overall record to 6-2 and 2-1 in the Main Line League.
Wayne Seniors Visit Coatesville Veterans Hospital
June 8, 2009
Before Sunday's contest against Caln, the team visited the Coatesville Veterans Hospital to offer there thanks and gratitude to the veterans that were on hand. The boys handed out t-shirts, baseballs and hats to those that were on site. The veterans were very much appreciative of the visit and wished us luck as we headed down the street to Giant Field at Caln Park to play a 7:00 game under the lights.
