Wilton's Realty Seven Sea Dogs Take Little League Title

The Realty Seven Sea Dogs defeated the Advanced Lawn Care River Dogs 10-0 in six innings on Tuesday, June 15 to win the Wilton Little League Single-A League championship.

The game was a tight 0-0 tie through 2.5 innings behind dominant starting pitching from the River Dogs' Brendan Connor (three strikeouts and a putout) and the Sea Dogs' Cole Judelson (four strikeouts). The Sea Dogs opened the scoring in the bottom of the third with rbi singles by Andrew Luciano and Max English, and broke the game open with a five run fourth inning fueled by seven consecutive singles to open the inning.

The Sea Dogs' pitching and defense carried the day, getting a key strikeout to strand runners on first and third in the first inning, and turning a nifty centerfield-to-second base ground out by Devin Filaski and Matthew Johnson to strand two baserunners to end the second inning.

Andrew Luciano pitched his way out of a bases loaded, two-out jam on a comebacker to the pitcher to get out of the fourth inning. Zach Dedrick got four strikeouts over the last two innings to close out the victory for the Sea Dogs.

Jack Ferguson helped the pitching staff by playing a stellar catcher and contributed a single and run scored at the plate.

Stephen Batter led all Sea Dogs hitters with three runs scored while going 3-for-4. Connor Adams added two singles and two runs scored and recorded a putout at third base. Cole Judelson backed up his excellent pitching by going 4-for-4 at the plate with two runs batted in.
