Congratulations to the Riverhead Waves 10u travel baseball team on their second consecutive league championship.
The Waves (15-2, No. 2 seed) defeated the Hauppauge Eagles (16-1, No. 1 seed) 11-5 on Aug. 6 to clinch the 10u division title in the 2022 Brookhaven Baseball League summer season.
The league’s 10U division had 17 teams. The summer season lasts from June to August. Each team played 2-3 games per week.
To advance to the finals, the Waves defeated Pat-Mead 10-0 in the first round, East Hampton 4-3 in the second round, and Morich Bay 4-2 in the semi-finals.
The Waves won the 9U fall championship last October.
The team’s final record was 16-2. They finished the season on an impressive 12 game winning streak.
“The Waves took control of the (last) game early and they didn’t give up,” head coach Brian Miller said.
Connor Miller, Jason Hubbard, Travis Cote and Chase Kwasna all had big nights offensively and Travis Cote was solid on the pitcher’s mound for 5 innings. Tyler Chataway pitched in 1 inning of relief. There were two great defensive plays on the field. Redding Palmeri made a diving catch in center field, and his brother Crosby Palmeri singled to right field to put the runner on first base for the final out.
“Each player contributed offensively and defensively,” Miller said. “It was a total team effort,” he said.
“We always tell them, ‘Play your best baseball and let’s see if the other team can keep up.’ They did exactly that in the final,” Miller said. They worked hard and were focused on playing great baseball.
All 13 Waves players play on Riverhead Little League teams, he said.
The players on the team are Devin Caserta, Tyler Chataway, Travis Cote, Trey Edwards, Jason Hubbard, Connor Miller, Chase Kwasna, Eddie Meyer, Ben Miceli-Martinez, Crosby Palmeri, Redding Palmeri, Ryan Quick and Michael Zambriski.
Waves Travel Team Coaches: Brian Miller, Ed Meyer, Mike Quick and Jason Kwasna.
