It was truly fun for all that attended the First Annual Yorktown Invitational Tournament. Between the softball, the food, the people and the great music provided and public address work done by Kevin T. Van Meter, it was a wonderful experience.
Hendrick Hudson's softball squad played Yorktown in the championship game of the tournament on May 5 and came away with a 10-0 triumph against the Huskers to take home the title.

The Sailors (12-4) jumped out to a 5-0 first-inning lead and with eighth-grade sensation Gabby Caruso on the mound, that was more then enough runs.
"We work really well together and are confident in one another's abiltites," Caruso said.
Caruso, who made the all-tournament team and if there was an MVP award would've won it, shut down Yorktown's potent lineup by scattering four hits over seven innings. Caruso also stood out offensively, going 2-4 with 4 RBI.
"She (Caruso) works hard at it," Hendrick Hudson coach Kurt Thomas said. "She plays all-year round and she plays tournament ball. She is used to being under the pressure. She faces good competition all-year round. That's how you become a good player."
Shortstop Cassidy Boyle also stood out by going 2-3 with 3 RBI, two of them coming on a two-run homer in the second inning. Teammates Megan Jahoda (two hits, three runs), Jesse Pelaccio (one hit, two runs), Kristen Velez (two hits, one RBI, one run), Amy Glashoff (two hits) and Julie Gaspar (one hit, one RBI) also contributed to the win.
The Sailors outslugged New Rochelle in the opening round by a score of 12-5 on May 4. Boyle, Gaspar, and Caruso all homered for the Sailors.
