Brick Little League hits 'em out of the park, wins six championship banners
Brick, NJ – There is something special surrounding Brick Little League the past few years and the local community is seeing how action-packed Little League Baseball truly is. Brick Little League was very successful on the field as they took home six All Star Tournament Championships this past summer. The League’s Juniors Division All Star Team led by Manager Tom Tiernan and 11-Year-Old All Star Team with George Cavanagh at the helm both took home their respective Little League NJ District 18 and Section 3 All Star Tournament Championships. Both the Juniors and 11s advanced to their Little League NJ State Championship Finals and fell just short of representing NJ in Little League Regional Tournaments.
The Senior Division won the Little League NJ District 18 All Star Championship, which was an inter-league All Star Team that also included players from Toms River East Little League, the team was managed by Brick Coach Brendan Kunzman. For the first time the league fielded a 7-Year-Old All Star Team, which ended up winning the inaugural Holbrook LL 7U Coach Pitch Tournament, coached by Jason Burgess.
Brick also participated in the inaugural MIT Tee Ball All Star Tournament which was hosted by Manchester Little League, the Tee Ball All Star Team was coached by Mike Desmond and former professional baseball player Rob Semerano.
“The league is very proud of what our players accomplished this year. The teams did a bunch of winning against very good competition and now we have a lot more championship banners to hang at the complex.” League President Steve Gerling says. “The community has really embraced the League, along with the winning buzz in our older divisions, our younger age groups have had huge turnouts with over 270 players in our Tee Ball and Farm Divisions. Baseball has certainly been back in Brick and the Little League is the place to be.” The League’s 2020 Spring Season Opening Day is slated for Saturday April 4th.
