Jason Bleau photos WOODSTOCK — Despite a rainy night and wet morning, the Woodstock Little League’s opening day festivities were a big success with players, parents and fans filing in to the Roseland Park fields for the annual parade and opening ceremony. The ceremony featured a passing of the torch with one of the leagues youngest play- ers, t-baller Cooper O’Brien, throwing the first pitch to one of the eldest members of the league and shouting a resounding “play ball” to officially begin the 2016 season.

Despite a wet morning, Woodstock’s Little League Parade went off without a hitch as players marched to the filed for the start of a new season.

A few young players of Woodstock’s little league hand out while they await the start of the march to the field for opening day.

Killingly coach David Austin said the error-ridden loss to Lyman Memorial on April 18 served as a wakeup call. The victory over Tourtellotte on April 20, coupled with a 5-1 win over Woodstock one day earlier it reversed an early slide. “You make 10 errors in a ballgame, there’s not a big enough rock to hide under. When you’re one and five — and you lose your fifth game and you make 10 errors in a ballgame — it’s pretty murky water,” Austin said. “We turned it around. Give the kids credit. Yesterday against Woodstock, against a rival, they played flawlessly. And they matched it today. We swung the bats. Scored the runs.” Killingly pounded out 11 hits against Tourtellotte. Killingly used four walks, a pair of run-scoring fielder’s choic- es, Evan Zanauskas’s steal of home, and Mike Albee’s run scoring single to take a 4-0 lead over Tourtellotte in the top of the first inning. The Redmen added three runs in the second with the help of Jake Gauthier’s two-run single. Killingly scored four runs in the fourth inning with Desaulnier getting the key hit to push its lead to 11-0. The Redmen led 13-2 going into the top of the sev- enth and added three runs with Kyle Derosier knocking a run-scoring dou- ble and Derek Griffiths singling home another run.

Villager Newspapers % Town-to-Town Classifieds % Friday, April 29, 2016 B5 Vincent helps Tourtellotte rally past rival Killingly

BY CHARLIE LENTZ VILLAGER SPORTS EDITOR DAYVILLE — Emily Vincent had an idea of how Ashley Veillette was going to pitch to her and that made all the differ- ence. Vincent is Tourtellotte’s cleanup hitter and she came to the plate against Veillette, Killingly’s sophomore right- hander, with two runners on base and the Tigers trailing Killingly by a pair of runs in the top of the fifth inning on April 21 at Foxy Fortin Field. Vincent and Veillette are summertime teammates on the South County Storm in Massachusetts — so Vincent was familiar with Veillette’s pitching repertoire. After hit- ting a pair of grounders in her first two at-bats Vincent was ready for her third time at the plate. “I play with Ashley over the summer so I know how she kind of pitches,” said Tourtellotte’s junior third baseman. “She’s really, really good. I think I adjusted to her.” With Tourtellotte trailing Killingly 4-2 with one out in the fifth inning — Vincent adjust- ed a pitch over left fielder Lexi Montagne’s head for a three- run homer to give the Tigers a one-run lead en route to a 7-4 victory. Tourtellotte managed Charlie Lentz photo just one hit off Veillette over Tourtellotte shortstop Carrine Sosnowski readies to tag out Killingly’s Cara Mayhew attempting to steal second base in the first inning at Owen Bell the first four innings but put Park’s Foxy Fortin Field. together five hits in the fifth frame. “I think it was just a change of their mental approach at the plate,” said Tourtellotte coach Brooke DiFormato of the fifth-inning rally. “I don’t think they really made any adjustments to the pitching, except for it was their third time through in the order — that, plus changing your men- tal approach and really having that fire and that mental tough- ness, that’s what I’ve been try- ing to get them to improve on all year. They really wanted it so they did it.” Trailing 4-0 going into the top of the fifth, Vincent’s homer paced a five run outburst that gave the Tigers the lead for good. Freshman Lauren Ramos started the fifth-inning rally with a one-out double. Ramos bats ninth in Tourtellotte’s order. “It’s always good when the bottom of your order can get on and you know that the top’s coming up right behind them,” Charlie Lentz photo Charlie Lentz photo DiFormato said. “Because Killingly’s Ashley Veillette pitches against Tourtellotte.
