We’re rooting for the Middle School Baseball and Softball Teams that are both undefeated at this half-way point in the season as they compete against public and non-public schools in the Atlantic Cape Junior High League.
The Middle School Boys’ Baseball Team is led by ACS parent Charlie Costello, in his first year as head coach, assisted by ACS parent Jayson Benson. The team record is 5-0, with several players pitching from the mound — Charlie Costello, Adam Schlundt, and Jayden Sanchez — and CJ Ford catching behind the plate. The 12 members of the team are: Logan Benson, John Cook, Calvin Costello, Charlie Costello, Ethan Costello, Micah D’Anna, CJ Ford, Luke Odell, Seth Phillips, Jayden Sanchez, Adam Schlundt, and Justice Settles.
The Middle School Girls’ Softball Team is led by Mike Bohs, in his fourth year as head coach, and assistant coaches Jennifer DiMaio and Richard Jackson. In addition to selecting a roster of players to compete in the games, Coach Bohs also decided to form a practice squad to give interested 6th grade girls an opportunity to improve their game.
The 14 members of the Girls’ Softball team are: Ashley Alford, Isabell Alford, Ava Barberio, Sophia Costello, Annalena DiMaio, Rebecca DiMaio, Ava Dixon, Gianna Flynn, Keira Frontino, Lydia McCarthy, Marley Odell, Skyler Shivers, Taylor Sutton, and Anyae Welch. The members of the 6th grade practice squad are: Alexis Andujar, Mackenzie Flynn, Kiera Loo, Nadia Pearson, Alexis Shropshire, and Shelby Tomlinson.
The Girls’ Softball team posted a close 4-3 victory at home on Tuesday, May 4 against Ocean City Middle School, with 8th grade pitcher Ava Nixon getting the win.
The ACS Middle School teams both play Friday, May 7 — the Softball team away at North Wildwood and the Baseball team away at Ocean City Middle School. Both teams will play at home again on Wednesday, May 12 against Doane Academy. Go Cougars!
