AUSTINTOWN LITTLE LEAGUE CHECKS IN FROM GREENVILLE

/in /by

GREENVILLE NC- Austintown’s 12U Little League squad is off to a fast start in the Little League World Series in Greenville, North Carolina. They’ve won their first 2 games of the tournament and they’ve done so in dominating fashion, especially in the circle.

Austintown ace Mila Hamley has pitched all 12 innings so far for Austintown and has given up a total of 1 hit. She has struck out a combined 27 batters in the two games played, and hasn’t allowed a run to cross the plate yet.  On the offensive side for Austintown the bats have been aggressive and timely.  They’ve totaled 15 hits in 2 games and scored a combined 8 runs.  The depth of the lineup has showed up in a big way.  10 out of the 12 hitters in the lineup have at least one hit so far in the tournament, and 6 different hitters have knocked in runs.  Bella Mattern has shown off, she went 2-2 against Mexico, and then added a RBI against Southeast.  Annabel Mikesell has a hit, a run scored, and a RBI so far.  In their last victory over Southeast Lexi Petrilla went 2-2 with a RBI showing how dynamic she can be.  The lineup will be hard to stop if it keeps being consistent 1-12.

Austintown head coach Matt Hamley, and players Mila Hamley, Annabel Mikesell, and Kyndra Lake took time on Wednesday to check in with us from Greenville live on Running Point. They talk about their experience so far, how they are staying focused with the time off, and much more.

Mayler McFann started on the mound for Rock Hill, giving up six hits and four runs (one earned) over five innings, striking out two and walking two.

Hoops led Austintown at the plate, going 2-for-2 with two RBIs from the number seven spot. Hamley had an immaculate inning in the fourth, striking out the side on nine pitches. Austintown played flawless defense, with Marissa P leading the way with 16 chances.

AUSTINTOWN READY FOR REGIONALS

/in /by

AUSTINTOWN OH- It has been a roller coaster summer for members of the Austintown 12U softball team. Not only have many players on the roster been busy with high level travel ball, but they’ve also had to contend with one of the hardest districts in the state, and constant weather interruptions.  Through all the twists and turns that team has faced, Austintown has muscled into a state championship.  After beating their local rival Boardman 11-0 in the state semifinals, Austintown would go on to beat Clay in the championship 7-0.

Now their sights get set on the regional tournament, one step away from the Little League World Series in North Carolina.  Austintown’s first game of the regional bracket will be on July 23rd at 1:00 on ESPN+.  They are matched up against the representative from Iowa.  All of the regional games will be streamed on ESPN+.

Austintown has been led by incredible pitching in the circle. They’ve only allowed 4 runs so far in 7 games played.  Their ace Mila Hamley has struck out 49 hitters in her summer run.  Their offense hasn’t been anything to turn your nose at either.  The Austintown crew has scored 54 runs this summer. That’s an average of over 7 runs per game.  Annabel Mikesell has been a consistent hitter throughout the tournament, and she has a couple of home run derby titles under her belt as well.  When you add her power to players like Seneca Coates who uses dynamic speed at the top of their lineup and Bella Baumgart who always seems to come out on top in the biggest spots then you get an offense that is difficult to keep down.

Mila Hamley and Annabel Mikesell joined their head coach Matt Hamley in an exclusive interview with Anthony Hartwig ahead of their trip to regionals. They talk about the whirlwind of experiences they have already gone through, the excitement to be regionals, and so much more.
