Congratulations All-Stars!
By Ryan | August 5, 2009
Congratulations goes out to Helmuth-Ingalls’ 2009 All-Star selections: Jake Ross (P), Lee Foxton (SS) and Tyler Heck (CF). All three proved that they were among the top players in the league throughout the season, demonstrated by the following:
- Foxton led the league in hits (30), was third in average (.492), and seventh in runs scored (18)
- Heck tied for second in hits (28) and stolen bases (15), was fourth in average (.444), and sixth in runs scored (19)
- Ross led the league in strikeouts (58), was third in wins (4), and fifth in ERA (2.42)
Foxton and Ross were awarded trophies for their league leading statistics, marking the third time in four years that Post 232 has had at least one league leader winner. (In 2007, no awards were presented) .
In Tuesday night’s All-Star Game at DeLutis Field, the Gold Division topped the Blue Division 5-3. Love Post’s Cody Hitt was named game MVP with two hits and a run scored, to go along with a brilliant pitching line of 2 perfect innings pitched, including 4 strikeouts.
In a pregame ceremony, Smith Post’s Kyle Richardson was named the Oneida County Player of the Year for the third consecutive time.

By Ryan | July 29, 2009
The annual end-of-season BBQ will take a new direction this summer, as the Post Commander and Baseball Chairman, Frank Savino, has invited the team to his home for a BBQ and pool party.
The party will be held at 12pm on Sunday August 2, and all players are highly encouraged to attend. In addition, families are welcome and encouraged to attend as well. Bring your bathing suits and towels so you can enjoy the pool, and canvas chairs if you have them.
Players are also asked to bring both jerseys and the uniform pants to turn in. Please call Coach Ryan to let us know if you will be there - of course, we’re hoping you will all be there! - and to give a headcount of additional family members.
For directions to the Savino residence, please ask a coach.

Game #26: Helmuth-Ingalls at Smith
By Ryan | July 20, 2009
| POST 232 | 1 | 2 | 2 | 0 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 7 | 12 | 1 |
| Smith | 0 | 0 | 3 | 2 | 0 | 2 | 0 | 7 | 7 | 1 |
CLINTON- In an intriguing game between the first- and second-place teams in the Blue Division, neither team would prevail as the game was called after seven innings due to darkness with a 7-7 tie on the scoreboard. It has not been determined if the game will be concluded.
Helmuth-Ingalls jumped out to an early 5-0 lead and never trailed in the game against division leader Smith Post. Tyler White was on top through 5 innings, but got into some trouble in the sixth before giving way to reliever Cory Gogola. Gogola promptly retired two batter, but walked two batters with the bases loaded, allowing Smith to tie the score at 7-7.
Tyler Heck, Lee Foxton, Jack Sullivan, and White led the way for H-I at the plate with two hits apiece.
On Tuesday night, H-I learned they would be guaranteed at least second place in the Blue Division and thus an automatic spot in the District V Tournament. UPDATE: Since Smith Post clinched the Blue Division title, County Chairman Jack Huther has decided the game will not be concluded.

Game #25: Helmuth-Ingalls at Adrean
By Ryan | July 20, 2009
| POST 232 | 0 | 0 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 2 | 0 | 4 | 9 | 1 |
| Adrean | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 2 | 1 |
CLINTON- Helmuth-Ingalls cemented a postseason berth with a victory over Adrean on Wednesday, extending their winning streak to three games. All three victories have been over divisional rivals, and have completed season sweeps over each opponent - New Hartford and Moran Meeker O’Rourke preceded Adrean.
Jordan Doroshenko dominated the Adrean bats from the very start, allowing only back-to-back hits in the fourth - a leadoff triple and an RBI single - in another complete game effort for H-I pitching.
Tyler Heck and Cory Gogola each had two hits, and Chris Hughes drove in two runs.
H-I closes out the regular season with a road tilt against division leader Smith Post on Wednesday at 6:00pm.
