Dukes' Langfels wins Throwing Competition at NECBL All Star GameMichael Radomski - July 21, 2008
Pittsfield Dukes
TORRINGTON, CT. - Dukes third baseman Jayson Langfels (Eastern Kentucky) won the infield portion of the throwing competition at the 15th Annual NECBL All Star Game tonight.
Prior to the All Star Game, various players from the Northern and Southern Division competed in the sixty yard dash, home run derby, and throwing competitions.
Langfels competed against some of the best infielders in the NECBL including Joe Depinto (Torrington), Jonathan Roof (Vermont) and Nicolas Pecora (Lowell).
With backhanding ability and his strong throws to first, Langfels secured the victory and took home the Dukes’ only award in the skills competitions.
Duke the Dog, the Pittsfield Dukes mascot, was also in the skills competition as he competed against mascots from other NECBL teams. Duke the Dog and Skip the Vermont Mountaineer mascot went neck and neck in the mascot home run derby, but Skip defeated Duke on the last swing as his ball went a few inches further than Duke’s ball in the infield.
The Southern Division All Stars defeated the Northern Division 5-2 in the game at Fuessenich Park in Torrington, Connecticut. Eight Dukes players competed in the game and Newport catcher Mike Melillo was named the MVP of the game.
The Dukes next game will be at the Danbury Westerners on Tuesday night beginning at seven o’clock. Louie Bernardini (Wheaton College) is the probable starter.
The next Dukes home game is Wednesday night when Pittsfield hosts the Manchester Silkworms in a potential playoff preview beginning at seven o’clock.
