LM Junior and Senior Program Shine

The Lower Merion Bulls became the first Lower Merion team to win the Junior's Varsity Division Championship for District 27 today with a 5-4, seven inning victory over the rivals the Lower Merion Hooks.  It was a great, well-played game by both teams, but the Bulls squeaked out a victory.  The Bulls, coached by Jon Rubin, Art Valentine, Mark Morris and Larry Shane completed an undefeated 15-0 season.   The Hooks ended up 14-5 with 4 of the losses coming to the Bulls.  The Hooks were coached by Pete Filson, Scott Tarte and Bruce Bowen. Congrats to both teams for an outstanding season representing Lower Merion Little League and to the Bulls for winning the championship. (blue/orange team is Bulls and all blue team is Hooks)




 The LM Rivercats completed an LM sweep of the District 27 Juniors Division by winning the JV championship.  They stormed through the regular season with an 11-2 record, then dominated their four playoff games by a total score of 42-9.  Coached by Pete Fader, Billy Bredt, and Mark Benjamin the Rivercats showed terrific commitment and team spirit throughout the season – all 14 players were in uniform to play in (and celebrate) the championship game, including some who postponed summer camp plans to be there.  All in all, it’s been a great season for LMLL Juniors baseball!

Our Seniors team, the Threshers, completed their season Monday evening with a 1 run loss in the semifinals.  Congratulations to them for an outstanding year as well.
