Ellis Tech Boys Baseball finished the season 2nd Place in the Eastern Division of the Constitution State Conference with a league record of 4-4 and fell one game short of qualifying for the CIAC State Class M Tournament with a season record of 7-13.  The Eagles were edged out in some dramatic one run ball games when they fell 1-2 to Grasso Tech in extra innings, 9-10 to Tourtellotte in a come-from-behind win for the rival Tigers, and a heartbreaking loss to Cheney Tech (19-1) in extra innings.

  On the brink of greatness for most of the season, the Eagles Baseball Team was not able to capture the magic at just the right moments.  Backed by strong senior leadership from Josh DiPasquale, Ryan Wilson, Mike Cafaro, Lucas LaPorte and Tyler Harriott and excellent support from underclassmen like Tom Kubik, John Kline, Jon Arraje, Karl Barry, Dave Pelletier, Tyler Neeland, Zach Ezzell, and Jon Mikolajczak; the Eagles made strong improvement over the course of the season.

Highlights include Dave Pelletier’s two-homerun game against Parish Hill, Ryan Wilson’s 4-for-4 day against U-High, Tyler Neeland’s Homerun against U-High, Jon Mikolajczak hitting .382 on the year with on base percentage of .521, Lucas LaPorte finding his pitching talent, Tom Kubik batting .375 with only 8 K’s on the year, Josh DiPasquale getting hot late in the season (10 of his 20 hits in last 5 games with 2 doubles and 2 monstrous triples) to go along with his team leading wins as a pitcher, John Kline batting .295 with 4 Doubles and 14 stolen bases, excellent utility play from Karl Barry, Jon Arraje, and Jon Petrucci, and Mike Cafaro stealing 36 bases in only 21 games! Josh Dipasquale was honored as a first team all CSC selection and Ryan Wilson and Dave Pelletier received honorable mention. 

Thanks for a great season guys!
