The Town of Milton is enjoying quite the successful Little League all-star season, and the 8-10 Pat Knight team seems intent on keeping the party going.

Referring to themselves as the Miltons, the boys followed a 17-15 victory over Lower Sussex with a come-from-behind 9-8 win over Woodbridge July 23 in Georgetown. 

Mason Pisapia opened the scoring with a bases-clearing three-run double in the first inning to score Parker Graves, Rowen Duncan and Landon Reber. Asher Johnson doubled in Conor Williams the following inning to extend Milton’s lead to 4-0. 

Woodbridge cut the lead in half in the bottom of the second inning before Duncan sent one into the outfield to score Graves. With a 5-2 lead, things seemed to be in Milton’s control, but Woodbridge stormed back to take a 7-5 lead at the end of the third inning.

Although they seemed dejected, the lads rallied once again to keep their inning scoring streak alive, cutting the lead down to 7-6. Woodbridge struck again in the fourth inning, but an out at home followed by a ground out to first baseman Luke Underwood kept Milton in a contest that only allows five runs per inning. 

Johnson’s single to open the fifth and final inning sparked a rally cry for Milton, down 8-6, and Josh Brittingham kept the pressure on with a walk. Huk O’Brien put the Miltons within one run on a single that scored Johnson. Dawson Libby’s sacrifice plated Brittingham and put O’Brien on third.

As Brantley Peterson took ball three to make it a full count, the ball slipped passed the catcher. O’Brien managed to slide safely into home as he was met with a little contact, giving Milton a 9-8 advantage.

Duncan was given the ball to maintain the slimmest of margins, and while things started shaky with a hit by pitch, he gathered himself to induce a pop-up, caught by Pisapia. As Duncan finished off the second of two straight strikeouts to end the game, the team gathered around him to celebrate their late-game, late-night victory.

Milton is set to square off against Millsboro at 8 p.m., Monday, July 28, at Georgetown Little League.
