The Tewksbury 9U Dis­trict team didn’t leave any doubt on its way to some hardware at the Conway Classic.

Winners in all three pool play contests — outscoring the opposition by a combined margin of 50-17 — the Redmen romped to the playoffs while holding the top seed and never looked back. 

Tewksbury downed Mer­ri­mac, 17-3, before defeating Hudson, N.H., 11-1, in the finals.

In pool play, Tewksbury rattled off wins over Hud­son (13-9), Merrimac (22-3) and Reading (15-5).

The Redmen formulated a complete-game effort in the championship, with contributions up and down the lineup.

In the 11-1 win, Zack Ches­­lofska opened the sco­ring for Tewksbury with an RBI single before Kareem Fah­foui’s double plated another Tewksbury run. The Red­men posted 13 hits in the victory.

And after William Ban­deras walked in the second, opening the door for a Dominic Capasso RBI, Tewksbury added to its ear­ly cushion by taking a 4-0 lead.

But it was the third in­ning where Tewksbury left its mark, tallying five runs. Fahfoui and Zach Taylor highlighted the flurry with RBI singles. 

Collecting multiple hits on the day were Fahfoui, Cheslofska, Sebastian Des­rosiers, Taylor and Ramet­ta. William Banderas dem­onstrated his speed on the base path, swiping a pair of bases. 

Meanwhile, Hudson didn’t have an answer against Tewksbury’s pitching staff.

Cheslofska started the game on the bump for the Redmen, allowing only one run through two in­nings, while amassing four strike­outs. It set the table for Fahfoui (1 IP, three strikeouts) and Bar­rett Ramet­ta (1 IP, 0 runs) in relief.

Tewksbury’s roster inclu­ded Kareem Fahfoui, Scar­lett Quinlan, Scott Capal­do, Sebastian Desrosiers, William Banderas, Zach Taylor, Zack Cheslofksa, Barrett Rametta, Connor Wright, Dominic Capasso and Drew Goldstein. The Redmen are coached by Michael Rametta, Matt Taylor and Shawn Quin­lan. 

8U team captures crown

Tewksbury’s 8U team flex­ed its muscles en route to a Conway Classic championship. 

Though Tewksbury suffered a narrow 9-8 loss to Reading in pool play, the Redmen picked up dominant wins over Dracut (18-3) and Salem, N.H., (11-1) to net a 2-1 record and earn the No. 2 seed in Pool B. 

In the playoffs, Tewksbury completed victories over Georgetown (11-1) and Sa­lem, N.H., (13-8) before de­feating Reading (15-6) in the title match.

In the win against Read­ing, the Redmen avenged its loss in pool play to the Rockets when it mattered the most. 

Lucas Robertson opened the scoring for Tewksbury in the first frame, notching a fielder’s choice RBI before Reading ultimately knotted the score in the bottom half.

Robertson also earned the win on the bump, tossing 1.2 innings and posting four strikeouts. Henry Magary and Colton Wag­staff also appeared on the mound for Tewksbury.

Robertson then picked up another RBI in the third to tie the game at 3-3.

Tewksbury mounted a sizable lead in the fourth and never looked back, plating five runs to take a 7-2 advantage.

Walker Anderson’s two-run single highlighted the salvo, who had two hits in the contest.

But Tewksbury’s offense wasn’t done yet, scoring another five runs in the fifth frame.

Nolan Heffernan, Bryce Ohara, Grayson Colbert, Wagstaff and Anderson all picked up RBI in the ef­fort. Mason Veits drew an impressive four walks.

Tewksbury’s roster in­cludes Bryce Ohara, Gray­son Colbert, Walker Ander­son, Brady Daigneault, Colton Wagstaff, Connor Hourihan, Henry Magary, Lucas Robertson, Luke Leo, Mason Veits, Nolan Heffernan, Troy Comeau and Yusef Fahfouhi. The Redmen are coached by Brad Wagstaff and Shawn Anderson.

11U fall in championship thriller

In an 11-inning marathon, Tewksbury’s 11U team came up oh so close in the finals in a 3-2 loss to Methu­en. 

That’s nearly two full games, as each complete contest is set to last six innings.

Tewksbury picked up wins over Pentucket (25-0), Hud­son, N.H. (11-3), and Read­ing (5-3) in pool play. Its only loss came to the Rangers (11-6), as Tewks­bury entered the playoff bracket as the No. 2 seed with a 3-1 record. 

After beating Pentucket (15-1) and Reading (4-0) in the playoffs, a rematch with Methuen was set for the trophy. 

The Rangers opened the scoring in the bottom of the first, but Logan Dingi­van singled to knot the game at 1-1 in the third. In the home half of the frame, Methuen answered to re­take a one-run advantage. 

Eyeing an 0-2 count, Con­nor Bresnahan laced a single down the left field line to again tie the game in the fourth. That’s when the two sides reached a deadlock. 

The next six frames would be scoreless as a result of masterful pitching from both teams. After Jack Magary started the game for Tewks­bury — tossing 2.1 innings and striking out three batters — Sam Trowbridge pitched 5.2 clean innings to keep Tewksbury’s shot at the title alive. Trow­bridge totaled a whopping nine strikeouts and scattered just four hits. 

But something eventually had to give, and Methu­en ultimately mustered a run across home plate in the bottom of the 11th to seal the game. 

Posting multiple hits in the game for Tewksbury was Logan Dingivan, Mike Kippenberger and Brody Augustyniak, as Andrew LaMarche, Trowbridge, Owen Brett, Bresnahan and Sebastian Foley had hits. The Redmen were rounded out by Matthew Lanterman — who drew a walk in the contest — Jo­shua Baker, and Darrell Robertson.

The team is coached by Steve Powers, Liam Brett and Jim Trowbridge.
