The Greater Pittston Senior American Legion baseball team has surged to a seven‑game winning streak, a run that includes double‑digit scoring in every outing. The recent stretch, compressed into just six days, has seen the squad face off against a variety of regional opponents, each game adding a new layer to the team’s growing chemistry.
A winning streak takes shape
The team’s offense has been relentless, delivering multiple runs in each contest while maintaining tight control on the mound. Their schedule has taken them from Hazleton to the Wyoming Valley and back, testing their resilience against diverse competition.
Standout Performances
Nick Innamorati has been a catalyst at the top of the order, going 3‑for‑3 and scoring twice against Mountain Post and later stealing three bases while crossing the plate three times in the Back Mountain matchup. His combination of contact hitting and speed provides a steady spark.
Beau Widdick has emerged as a true two‑way star. He limited Mountain Post to one hit over five innings, striking out four batters, and later added a home run, three runs scored and four RBIs in a win over Stripes & Strikes. His dominance on the mound and production at the plate make him indispensable.
Josh Barr’s recent surge includes a 4‑for‑5 performance with a double and two RBIs against Back Mountain, while Zach Budzak contributed a double, a single and two driven‑in runs in the same game. Jake Aftewicz, Caleb Pavinski and Dom Salvo have also delivered timely hits and solid pitching outings, ensuring the lineup stays productive and the bullpen remains fresh.
Depth beyond the headline names is evident in the contributions of Gavin Wardecki, Prestyn Reeves, Bruno Pizzano, Ryan Tonte, Cole Ricko and others. These players have added crucial hits, steady defense and occasional mound work, allowing the team to maintain a high‑scoring pace without overtaxing the regular starters.
Traveling across Pennsylvania’s anthracite region has forged camaraderie, and the upcoming fixtures promise more opportunities to extend the streak. Fans and community members alike are watching closely as the squad looks to translate this early momentum into a deep run later in the season.
