Erie Outlaws Baseball Organization

The 12U Silver Outlaws coached by Randy Powierza entered Sunday in the Silver Bracket at the Lancer Classic in Lewiston NY after a tough bracket in pool play.  The boys went 3-0 on Sunday and outscored their opponents 38-16 to win the Silver Bracket Championship.

In the first game Outlaws beat Hamburg Dawgs 12-2 behind great pitching from Ian Chylinski, timely hitting including a grand slam by Cooper Cousins. 

In the second game the Outlaws beat the Buffalo Wings 10-4 behind great pitching from Cooper Cousins, Klayton Komiarski and Andrew Disanza, timely hitting by all 11 players and great defense by all. 

In the Championship the Outlaws fell behind 3-0 to the Niagara Jr. Purple Eagles after two innings.  The boys rallied back to score 8 runs in the 3rd inning led by Charlie Swanson's grand slam and Ryan White's two run home run.  The Outlaws won 16-10 behind great pitching from Jake Schmidt and Connor Powierza and great hitting as all 11 players reached base.  In the tournament Cooper Cousins had 3 home runs, Ray Wasiella had two, Charlie Swanson and Ryan White 1.  The boys did the 3 things their coaches have been asking them to do all year: do their best, give 100% on every play and be coachable.  Because they did that they had a lot of fun.
