unbeaten streak. Matt T's and Harrison's

9-2. Statistics

Prasana for the final two outs.

Women 12-1 in seven innings. NY pitchers
walked nine batters and hit five more batters with
pitches - but still held the Women to only one run.
- July 10 - During winter workouts in February, NY
Midgets players were tasked with predicting five
landmarks of the season - with small monetary awards
available for each closest prediction.
Harrison correctly guessed the player who would
score our first run (AJ). No player correctly
guessed the first opponent against whom we would
score ten runs (Whitby T2). The other three
landmarks - Daniel M's 10th walk, Matt R's 3rd
stolen base, and Andrew Z's 10th batter struckout -
were all predicted by Daniel M who guessed July 10th
for each achievement. Matt R stole three bases
on July 5th (Daniel's guess of July 10th was the
nearest), Andrew Z struckout his 10th batter on July
10th (Daniel's guess was perfectly accurate) and
Daniel himself walked for the 10th time on July 10th
(Daniel again guessed the exact date).

- December 27 x Statistics Adjustment: In 2006, the NY Midgets played
a metal bat exhibition game against York in preparation for our trip to
Lewiston, New York. We won the game 2-0 and Zack Matthews (who
was rostered with Scarborough but attending the Lewiston tournament with NY)
played in the game. At the time, the statistics from this game were
not included. However, this game has now been re-classified as an
'18u' game rather than an exhibition game and the statistics and result of
the 2-0 win have been added to the NY Midget recordbook. Notable about
that game was a win for Brendon Bernard, a save for Eric Treble, an RBI from
Garrett Davies, and two hits from Steve Hersch.
