You would never know it by watching him, but Andrew Noe had a blast in today’s 10-0 victory for the LI Titans in the Semifinals of the 10U Stars & Stripes Tournament.
The stoic young man pitched four shutout innings allowing just one hit and one hit.
He also hit a three-run home run, legged out an RBI single and scored three runs while acting like he’s been there before–rarely seen from a 10-year-old athlete.
The game was delayed by nearly an hour but the Titans still were able to finish the victory in 1 hour and finish in less than if the game had started at the scheduled 11:15am time.
The offense wasted no time getting on the board in the first inning. They got an RBI single by Shane Meehan to score Andrew Noe to give them a 1-0 lead. Two batters later, Luke Coates smashed a two-run inside-the-park home run to make it 3-0.
After another 1-2-3 inning by Noe the bats went back to work. They posted three more runs thanks to Noe’s 3-R blast to right center field.
His teammates mobbed him around the plate but he acted like Christian Yelich coming back into the dugout for his 31st shot of the first half.

Tom Okypych ripped an RBI single to extend the lead to 7-0 in the third inning and they added three runs in the fourth inning thanks to an error and two wild pitches to make it 10-0.
They will play in the 10U Finals tomorrow at 11:30am against the Farmingdale Greendogs which promises to be a great match up.
