East Hanover 9U Sluggers Come From Behind to Beat Florham Park

At the bottom of the sixth inning, it looked like the Florham Park 9/10u boys baseball team had the district tournament wrapped up with a 7-2 lead over East Hanover.

But the boys of the neighboring town had one more trick up their sleeves--or rather, six, in the form of the six home runs they scored in the last three next three innings to win the July 5 championship game. 

With the win East Hanover brought the championship home, and their record extended to 9-1 in pool and district play.

The coaches and players are pictured above. From left to right starting in the back row, Coaches Frank Ruccio, Bill Bartlett, Steve Dorey and John Borrello. Players are Johnny Borrello, John Ruccio, Stephen Dorey, Frankie Ciccone, Chris Bartlett, Michael Carlucci, Chris Stephen, Brice Summer, Ethan Gu, Dominic Rizzolo and Anthony Porrazzo.
