MANCINI LEADS THE WAY AS CANFIELD FORCES BOARDMAN TO ELIMINATION GAME

BOARDMAN, OH-  One swing is all it takes sometimes.  For Canfield, and for their standout, Dylan Mancini-great things happen in three’s.

In the third inning, Canfield 12U stud, Dylan Mancini took a pitch deep into left field and over the 200-foot marker for a three-run home run.  Mancini would add a triple (3-bagger) later on in the game to finish the game 2-3 and the Baird Brothers Most Valuable Player of the Game for YSN.
