After three seeding games, the Bulldogs 11U team (2-1) was seeded #2 in the 12U West Division and played for the Championship against the #1 seed and undefeated Foxon Bisons (3-0) from New Haven, CT., who last fall won an ECTB tournament in PA.  The Bisons, however, could not handle Bulldogs ace Mark Maguire, who dominated with a complete game 2-hitter (5Ks) to lead the Dawgs to a 7-0 Championship victory over 7 innings.  Maguire, who also went 3 for 3 at the plate, was backed by the game-changing defense of shortstop Joe Fernando (started two double plays), Brandon Leftwich (1b), Danny Bakst (3b), and Eli Shirk (2b).  In seeding games the Dawgs got outstanding pitching performances from Nick Dulchin, Dennis Maddocks, Avery Hogue, Brandon Leftwich, and Danny Bakst. The offense was paced by Fernando (7 for 11), Maguire (5 for 8) and Dulchin (4 for 11), who also led the team in RBI's with Leftwich at 5 each. Congrats guys!

Having won a bid to the Triple Crown Summer Nationals, by winning the 7th Annual Triple Crown Sports Spring Frost Tournament in North Branford, Ct., in April, the team accepted the bid and traveled to South Carolina in late July to face some of the country's best 10 and under teams.   After 5 days of play, the Dawgs brought the championship back to Brooklyn with excellent team play and a sparkling 5-1 tournament record. 

The Dawgs opened the Nationals with a 10-8 extra innings loss to the North Wake Hurricanes, then came back to win their next five games, 21-18, 15-0, 7-3, and 9-8, culminating in a 4-1 championship game win against the Piedmont Braves from North Carolina.  Led by the hitting of Brandon Leftwich (14 hits), Danny Bakst (10 hits), Dennis Maddocks (9 hits), and Joe Fernando (8 hits), the Dawgs scored 64 runs in six games to back the big-game pitching performances of Caleb Kerbs (game 3), Mark Maguire (quarter finals), Joe Fernando (semi-finals), and Rafael Quezada (championship game). The Dawgs also received outstanding relief perfomances from Brandon Leftwich, Nick Dulchin, and closer Danny Bakst.  And Rafael Quezada won the division's home run hitting contest with a 229 foot bomb.  Congrats Dawgs!!
