Stellar Defense, Huge Sixth-Inning Spur PLL 10U Past Concord

Portsmouth Little League 10U (4-0) defeated Concord Little League (3-1) by a score of 14-4 on Wednesday at Grappone Field thanks in part to nine runs in the sixth inning.  

Portsmouth got on the board first in the top of second inning. Drew Larrabee led off the inning and was hit by a pitch. A fielder’s choice grounder by Dreyton Srimouksavanh allowed Larrabee to score the game’s first run putting Portsmouth up 1-0.

In the top of the sixth inning with two outs and the bases empty, Joey Coakley tripled. Ryder Raizes doubled, scoring Coakley, and multiple hits ensued. Ryan Poulin, Drew Larrabee, and Grady Maloney singled and each earned an RBI.

Dreyton Srimouksavanh then drew a walk, scoring one run, just before Tyler Hodges singled, scoring two runs.

Raizes earned the win on the mound for Portsmouth. The righty allowed just four hits and four runs (zero earned) over five and two-thirds innings, striking out four and walking four. Srimouksavanh appeared in relief for Portsmouth and recorded the final out in the bottom of the sixth.

Portsmouth amassed 14 hits in the game. Drew Cresta, Bennett Smith, Poulin, Raizes and Maloney each collected two hits.  Cresta, Carter, Hodges and Coakley each tacked on hits. Cresta, Poulin, Raizes and Tyler Hodges each drove in two runs.  

The defense for PLL turned in a stellar performance.

Centerfielder Joey Coakley tracked down three, long fly balls for outs. Srimouksavanh recorded four outs from second base, and catcher, Sam Carter, threw a speedy Concord runner out early on a steal attempt to a scoring threat. 

Third baseman Poulin and shortstop Maloney made plays for Portsmouth throughout the game that helped the team record outs and get back up to bat.

Portsmouth turned one double play in the game as Cresta snagged a line drive at first base and tagged the base before a Concord runner could hustle back.

Portsmouth 10U will travel to North Manchester Hooksett LL for their next game on Monday, July  8.
