Bellmore Blue Fire Softball Goes Undefeated to Win Tourney

The Bellmore Blue Fire 10-U Softball team topped Hicksville on Wednesday afternoon at the Winthrop Avenue School in Bellmore by a 15-4 score.

The big win handed the Blue Fire the 2011 Baldwin Tournament championship after going a perfect 9-0 over the last few weeks, topping some tough competition in Nassau County along the way.

Amanda Maffucci started the game at pitcher for Bellmore, getting through the first two innings with her team in the lead. Despite giving up three runs to Hicksville in the top of the first inning, Bellmore took the lead right back in the bottom half and did not let it up the rest of the way. 

Kaitlyn Judd came in to pitch the next three innings followed by Danielle Polirer to pitch the sixth and final inning to close out the championship win.

Here are the members of the 2011 Bellmore Blue Fire team:

Players: Azaria Vargas, Kaitlyn Judd, Samantha Bentig, Alex Frankel, Danielle Polirer, Amanda Maffucci, Lucia Alamia, Liz Gabberty, Sarah Porcellini, Meghan Cooney and Emma Hayes.
