Shrub Oak 6 Adrean 5
July 3, 2001 - Vestal High School - Adrean Post went down in defeat to Schrub Oak Legion Post 1080 from Long Island by a score of 6-5, in a game played at Vestal High School in The World Youth Classic.

Plagued by crutial errors and mental lapses, Adrean had squandered an outstanding pitching performance by Josh White after he had settled down from a rough 1st inning. For Schrub Oak, White walked leadoff hitter Nick Gallipani. Gallipani was throw out on an attempted steal by Chris Darling to clear the bases.

White then walked the second batter Eric Williams. Frank Kessler then stroked a base hit to put men on 1st and 3rd. An error on the next pitch by John Autrey, sent Schrub Oaks first run of the day home.

Schrub Oak sent 9 batters to the plate and scored 1 run on 1 hit on 1 error and they left 3 men on base. On the other side of the inning, Adrean was stymied by an outstanding pitching performance by Chris Kearney. Kearney held Adrean to 3 hits through 4 innings and always shutting down the middle of the order when necessary.

In the 3rd Schrub oak again took advantage of poor Adrean defense to tack on two more runs. Eric Williams lwad off with a base hit. Frank Kessler then hit a routine ground ball to shortstop John Autrey who committed his 2nd error to leave men on 1st and 2nd with no outs. After getting Dan stephens to pop up to short, Schrub managed to push 2 runs across on a wild series of plays starting with a would pitch scoring Williams and a late throw to the plate by Andy Wengert as the th\e trailing runner from 2nd scored on a heads up base running effort by Frank Kessler.

After retiring the side Adrean scored their 1st run of the game in the 4th when Matt Devins walked advanced on a fielders choice and scored on Sal LiCaris double in the gap. White retired Schrub Oak in the 5th and Adrean scored their 2nd run in the 5th when Bill Demma lead off with a double followed by Nick Galliulo bloop single . With Galliulo on first and no out a soft fly ball to right center field looked like it may fall was caught by the right fielder and turned into a double play getting Galiulo at first. In the meantime White is pitching a 3 hitter through 6 and keeping Adrean well within striking distance until the top of the 7th.

In the top half of the 7th Schrub Oak lead off with Eric Williams getting a walk followed by White striking out Frank Kessler. Dan Stephens the hits a double to score Williams. Eric Mittlestadt then singled to score Stephens and Tom Capalbo doubled to put men on 2nd and 3rd.. Then in possibly tthe most bizzar event of the tournament, White, instructed to intentionally walk the batter, threw the first pitch for a strike.

After a time out and a conference on the mound, catcher Chris Darling set up for the intentional walk and White threw the ball over the plate for a base hit by Sam Goluboy for Schrub Oaks final run.

In the bottom of the 7th Adrean lead off with Kev McCormick striking out followed by a walk to Chris Parkinson. Bill Demma then singled and Nick Galiulo walked to load the bases. Chris Darling then singled to drive in 2 runs. Matt Devins then took a call 3rd strike for the 2nd out. Andy wengert walked as did Sal LiCari to load the bases.
