Meet The Winners Of Middletown's 'Dinger Derby'

MIDDLETOWN, NJ — Everyone remembers when Middletown's most famous Little Leaguer, Alfred "Big Al" Delia, captured the heart of the nation, and Jimmy Kimmel, earlier this summer.

The 12-year-old All-Star became an overnight fan favorite in August when he told the world "I hit dingers," after Middletown Little League had a historic run at the Little League World Series (they were eliminated in the final round before the Series).

Delia's fame inspired Middletown to host its very first "Dinger Derby" this past Saturday, Sept. 29 at Middletown Day.

The winners in each age category are:

Ages 7-9 1st Place Medal: Robert Brandenburg

2nd Place Medal: Ryder Kane (pictured above with his medal)

4th Place Prize: John Talmage

Ages 10-12 1st Place Medal: Madilynn Boyce

2nd Place Medal: Ashley Rizzo

3rd Place Medal: Sally Costanza

Ages 13-15 1st Place Medal: Matt Adamson

2nd Place Medal: Mike Puskas

3rd Place Medal: Matt Kenny

Winners can claim their prize at the Recreation Office at Poricy Park (345 Oak Hill Road).
