The 9-10 All-Stars played in Dennis the weekend of July 6. They went 5 - 1 for the tournament, losing only in the preliminary round - in extra innings. They played 3 consecutive games on Sunday and won the Dennis Championship by defeating Falmouth 3 - 2 behind the strong pitching of Zack Rivera, Jeremy Bare, and Andrew Ryan in the championship game.
Series MVP went to Andrew Dessert for putting on a strong offensive display and 3 or 4 outstanding defensive webgems - robbing the opposition of sure hits. The Sportsmanship Award was presented to Zack Rivera for his consistent play at shortstop (he also made several great & key plays).
The team played solid defensively for the entire tournament, allowing only 17 runs in the 6 games. On Championship Sunday, only 4 runs were scored against them in the 3 games.
This was a true Team Championship. Everyone either came up with a hit in a key situation or made a defensive play when it was needed. This championship would not have been won without the contributions of the entire team.
