WBS Airport sets another passenger record

<p>Kingston/Forty Fort&#8217;s first game in the Little League Junior Softball East Regional was certainly a memorable one.</p><p>After heading to extra innings, KFF scored three times in the ninth to defeat New York state champion Haverstraw 4-1 in Mid-Atlantic pool play at Orange Little League in Orange, Conn.</p><p>Ally Keener broke the 1-1 tie with an RBI single that scored Julia Franks, who reached on a base hit. Gabby Razvillas delivered two more runs with a double to score Keener and Morgan Shedletsky, who got aboard with a single.</p><p>KFF pitcher Jessica Skladzien finished off her complete game with a scoreless ninth. She finished with 12 strikeouts.</p><p>&#8220;Their pitcher is just as good as ours,&#8221; KFF manager Jason Hoskins said. &#8220;It&#8217;s hot and humid here. Those runs scored because of their pitcher&#8217;s fatigue. She just didn&#8217;t have the endurance our pitcher does. When we went to extra innings, their pitcher wasn&#8217;t prepared for that, I guess.&#8221;</p><p>KFF took a 1-0 lead in the top of the sixth when Keener doubled in Franks. New York, though, tied it up in the bottom of thr frame.</p><p>Keener finished 2 for 3. Sara Hoskins was 3 for 4 with two doubles.</p><p>A busy Saturday awaits the KFF all-stars. They play at 8:30 a.m. against the Delaware champion and then again at 1:30 p.m. against the Maryland champ. Two games in one day shouldn&#8217;t be a problem, according to Hoskins.</p><p>&#8220;We&#8217;re not used to playing one game,&#8221; the manager said. &#8220;With travel ball, we play three games a day, so we&#8217;re ready to go two games tomorrow. We&#8217;re playing 8:30 against a very good team. We watched them (Friday), Delaware. I believe they won it two years ago. And we&#8217;re still going to start Skladzien in the 1:30 game, and we&#8217;ll go from there.&#8221;</p><p>KFF is off on Sunday and finishes up pool play at 9 a.m. Monday against New Jersey.</p><p>Pool play in the Mid-Atlantic and New England divisions is for seeding heading into the single-elimination portion of the tournament, which starts Tuesday. Teams will cross over divisions, with the final two survivors playing a best-of-three series on Wednesday and Thursday.</p><p>In other Mid-Atlantic games Friday, Maryland lost 12-2 to Delaware and 7-5 to New Jersey.</p><style>
