6/22 game highlights from Coach Silva: Luke O'Connor struck out 10 batters, going three up, three down in the 2nd and 4th innings. Emmett Sylva finished the job, giving up only one hit in 2 innings and striking out two batters. Rye Silva had two hits and scored twice and Alo Blake hit two singles and racked up two RBIs. It was an impressive game as the Vineyard held Middleboro to one run over the last five innings.
6/22 game highlights from Coach Chaves: Mateo Lynch Led off and singled, Hollis Tilton walked & Anthony Fuller grounded to 1st, moving them over to second and third. Peter Rosbeck walked to load the bases Tiernan Crowell doubled driving in Mateo & Hollis in. With Peter now at 3rd and one out, Pablo Begle’s sacrifice fly scored Rosbeck. Mac Cummings hit a shot to left field that the LF made a great catch on for the 3rd out to keep it tied. With Fuller still pitching, the other side got out in order in the top of the 7th. MV's Tyler Alton then led off with a walk, River Loughman doubled, with two outs and Aiden Galligan at the plate, and Tyler was able to score on a wild pitch to seal the victory.

We do not have a summer league or fall ball.* There will be Grand Slam pick-up games at the end of July and into August. We will post information on that in July, or you can check roadside signs near Penn Field. Also, some coaches may run sandlot pick-up games.
Please email: info@mvlittleleague.org with any questions.
Best of luck to our MVLL Tournament Travel teams this summer!

The Food Truck, a DJ, Equipment and uniform returns and other happenings all day!
Each division was designated a field to weed, edge, spread bluestone, fix bases, tamp, level and more! Coaches & volunteers, sponsors & community members, families & players, came out in numbers to brave the intermittent showers and a wintry mix of cold precipitation this weekend. Many brought trucks and machines, rakes, shovels, levels and other tools. Lots of hands made for light work!
A heartfelt thank you to all from Martha's Vineyard Little League.
