Crushers keep Crushing: CLCF 11s One Win Away from State Title

CLCF's 11-year-old baseball team, the Cranston Crushers, remains undefeated after blasting West Warwick 11-3 yesterday.

They play again tomorrow (Wednesday) at Riverpoint Park in West Warwick at 5 p.m. and might not have to play a second game, needing just one win to get into the New England Cal Ripken Regional Tournament in Norton, Mass.

Last night, Nelvin Blanco and Jamie Pacheo each pitched 3 innings, keeping West Warwick guessing and limiting them to three runs.

L.J. Felicio was instrumental in the outfield, getting several big outs, said Steve Richard of CLCF.

Offensively, Drew Spirito contributed a 3-run homer and the entire lineup contributed "at the plate and on the bases," Richard sad, spreading 11 runs to put down West Warwick in convincing fashion.
