Green Hornets 10U Baseball Team Takes The Crown During Mutiny At The Park

The Green Hornets 10U White team traveled to Olney, Maryland, for the 21st annual Mutiny at the Park event during the weekend of April 4-6 and brought home the championship, going 4-0-1 over the weekend.

A late-inning tag on a runner at home plate by catcher Brayden Horrell preserved a tie. Christian Brown’s walk-off double capped an eight-run comeback and kept the Hornets undefeated on Saturday. Steady pitching from Eli Krisko, Cormac Murray and Brandt Irvine paced the team throughout the tournament.

Entering bracket play as the fourth seed, the Hornets took advantage of timely hitting to win their first game, and they used an eight-run third inning to dispatch the top-seeded Calvert Cutters in the semifinal.

After some words of inspiration from teammate Milo Bullough, the Hornets squared off in the championship game against the rival Lake Shore BlueSox. Trailing 12-9 going to the bottom of the fifth, the Hornets got timely RBIs from Wyatt Fellner and Everett Hall to cut the deficit to one.

In the top of the sixth with the game on the line, Dylan O’Dell took the mound and struck out the side, setting the stage for a dramatic finish.

After JP Kantowski and Mason Azevedo reached base, William Spring stepped to the plate and launched a rocket into left-center field for a walk-off two-run triple, clinching the championship for the Green Hornets.
