The evening of July 26 brought a series of compelling performances to the diamond, with the Broad Street Park American Legion Post 313 securing a 5‑3 win over Bordentown Post 26. The victory was anchored by a three‑run rally in the fifth inning that flipped the momentum and left the defending league champions scrambling for answers.

Alex “Danny” Alonzo was the standout, going 3‑for‑3 with a double, two runs scored and five RBIs, driving in a substantial portion of the team’s production.

Standout Players
The night’s statistical leaders read like a who’s who of emerging local talent. Beyond Alonzo’s five‑RBI performance, Simeon McDaniel’s consistent contact and Zuccarello’s clutch homer highlighted Post 313’s balanced attack. Taylor’s triple‑laden effort for Hightstown and Conover’s steady hitting for Trenton further illustrated the depth of skill across the league.
With several teams still jockeying for playoff positioning, these results set a competitive tone for the remainder of the season.
