2012 Section 5 10/11 Baseball Champs

The North Pocono Dandy Lion Little League's 10/11 baseball All-Stars won the Section 5 title last night (7/24/12) with a convincing win over Back Mountain Little League in a game that was played at Back Mountain. After losing the first game of the sectional tournament 12-1 to Back Mountain on Thursday, North Pocono won four games in five days over Wallenpaupack (12-2), Mountaintop(11-10) and the last two against Back Mountain. (5-4 on Monday and 11-5 on Tuesday) Including in the run was the comeback victory over Mountaintop in which North Pocono was down 8-0 and made an amazing comeback.

North Pocono now moves on to the state playoffs which includes the top 8 10/11 teams in the state of PA. There are 8 sectional winners in the state. The tournament begins  round robin play on Friday July 27 at the Pittston Township Little League complex. North Pocono's first game is Saturday July 28 at 1 pm against Warwick Little League the section 6 champs from central Bucks county near Doylestown. The location is a correction from a previous post.
North Pocono's second game will be Sunday at 4 pm and their third game will be Tuesday at 7 pm.
Since this is such a rare opportunity for a North Pocono team to play a state tournament close to home, we are hoping to have a great crowd to root on these amazing baseball players.
