Piermont 13U team
A summer season that began with a one-run victory in mid-June concluded on July 28 with a one-run victory—and the championship—for the Piermont Yankees 13U Professional Baseball Instruction (PBI) travel team.
The Yankees, managed by Joe Comparetto, nailed down the title with a 3-2 victory over the Paramus Spartans at Petruska Park in Paramus, NJ. “It was a great playoff series with each game going down to the last out,” noted Comparetto, also offering his congratulations to the Pearl River Nationals, and Spartans for their fine seasons. “Both organizations are well-coached with a great group of young
players.”
