                          Saturday morning.  The Mets banged out 20 hits 
                          and limited the NY Midgets to a single run.  The

                          season (two games) but three veteran reinforcements 
                          should provide a stabilizing influence during Sunday's 
                          18u game against the EY Juniors.

                          games in 12 days and face the unbeaten Toronto Mets

                          and limited the Reds to four hits.  Andrew T (one 
                          of only five NY baserunners) scored the only run by 
                          walking on base, stealing second, advancing to third 
                          on an Andrew Z groundout, and scoring on a Justin S 
                          single.  Oshawa

                          entered the game with the tying run on second with one 
                          out - but recorded the final five outs to earn the 
                          save and lower his ERA to 0.30.  Andrew T's 
                          triple to the wall in the 6th inning scored Broidy 
                          from first base for the go-ahead run.

                          - Apr 19 - The NY Midgets regretfully announce the 
                          unofficial retirement of active NY Midget player 
                          Brendan Lynch ('07-'08).   An arm injury 
                          sustained in the winter will prevent Brendan from 
                          starting the season with the Midget team.  
                          Brendan threw four complete games last season and he 
                          holds the NY Midget record for strikeouts in a game 
                          with thirteen (13).  Mid-season comeback?
