The Lewes/Rehoboth Major League All-Stars dropped a 7-2 decision to Lower Sussex July 10 at the Millsboro Little League complex.

Trent Kaufman went 1-for-2 at the plate with a double and a walk and a run scored. Jameson Tingle went 1-for-1 with a single, a hit by a pitch, and he scored a run. Brady Kosc was 1-for-3 with a single and an RBI. Patrick Donahue was 1-for-3 with a single and an RBI.

“Lawson Whalen had a great defensive play in left field,” said coach Stephen Kosc. “He gunned a ball to Miles Godwin at the plate to save a run.”

Lower Sussex’s Dylan Bunting blasted a grand slam to break a 1-1 game wide open.
