So proud of my nephew DJ and the whole Parsippany team!!!!!! Awesome game boys!!!!!!!!!!

Love those boys and those smiles!!!!!!

Bener didn't exceed 35 pitches. Kyle did. Bener is available for Monday and will start.

Thanks, Todd. ESPN reported differing information.

Great way to start of the day- reading that Parsippany won!!! :) Great job PTE!

My old home town....keep it up boys...we are cheering for you. GO PAR-TROY EAST!!!

I really think that all of New Jersey is cheering for the PTE team. What an accomplishment, outstanding!!!! Can't wait to see their next game.

Exciting game! Enjoyed every bit of it. Going have to figure out how I'm going to watch Monday's game while at work.

Amazing playing boys! We were cheering you on here in Parsippany - so proud of all of you. To the coaches - you could not respresent Parsippany in a better light. Your positive attitudes and obvious love of the game is shining through all you do. Thank you for your dedication to PTE.

Maryland too... Just got a call from my mother congratulating the PTE All-Stars. She used to be a batting coach, so Mom knows the hard work that goes into this. She's so impressed by the boys, but also by the coaches.

Should point this out, The sportsmanship taught to these kids is undeniable.
Notice a simple thing like throwing around the horn after a strikeout,PTE does not do it is right back to the pitcher.Great Job Coaches !!!
You are teaching the boys more than you will ever know Sportsmanship and Respect

Glad to see all the commentors on the same page for once. These kids are doing what the grownups can't--bringing us all together. Go PTE!

William, Good point, unfortunately dreams coming true is not everday life.
There will always be different opinions about things that is why the Patch is a Homerun !!
I am with you thought Go PTE Il be there tomorrow cant wait !!!

Mr. Dean - your observation is spot on. ALL of the parents on this team (not just the uniformed coaches) have taught these boys to show respect and play the game the right way. So, you're right. They don't throw the ball around the horn after striking out an opponent. They act like they've been there before. When a batter has a called strike on them - and the call is questionable - they don't glare back at the umpire or flip their bat. I appreciate your comment and your support of Par-Troy East.

Todd, Yes I noticed that as well it is great to see that show of gamemanship so consistently by the PTE young men. I do have a question maybe I can run into you tomorrow afternoon for an answer.
How would we be able to keep 10 to 12 youngsters together and playing thru the offseason as PTE has done. I am sure your cross town team has caught the fever thanks to the tenacity of this great team?

YAY!!!!!!!!!!

any team that made it to this point is a winner, so there are no losers......the boys are winners because they love to play baseball and they demonstrate it by their ability....and the parents and coaches are winners because they are the ones that got them this far with their encouragement and cheers.........congrats to all......

So proud of everyone and love you all!! Keep having fun, do your thing, and you will continue to make it happen. Being where you are is a HUGE WIN already.....Now just keep playing some "Jersey ball" as Auntie Em' said you would last night, enjoy this amazing experience, and remember we are all cheering you on & so incredibily proud of everything you've done & who you are!!!

Very exciting game! Congrats team. You have brought great pride to Parsippany !

Congrats to PTE first off. I just had to comment though about the throwing around the horn remark. I have been watching baseball all of my life, my brothers in little league and even at the college level. Nnow I am watxhing my sons. I have never once heard throwing around the horn after a strikeout is unsportsmanlike. I asked my husband and he never heard that either. Where did that come from? If anything it gives the batter(s) time to get in position, in the dugout and batter's box. It also keeps your infield awake.

Throwing around the horn is not unsportsmanlike. It is commonplace. It is actually uncommon in baseball just to throw the ball back to the pitcher *unless there are runners on base). However, this team doesn't do it out of respect for opposing teams. Take a look at what "throwing around the horn" is. It is almost a celebration of a strikeout. How does the opposing batter feel when he or she sees it? So, this team has decided not to do it. They throw the ball back to the pitcher as if it were any other out. Touchdown celebrations in the NFL are commonplace - and not viewed as unsportsmanlike (unless they are taunting). However, running backs like Barry Sanders just handed the ball to the refs after scoring. Been there, done that. That was my point above. So, my comment was not to suggest that everyone else is doing something unsportsmanlike. They are not. I am just trying to point out that this team has a stoicism and respect that is not common. They celebrate as a team after a homer or a win, but otherwise just go about their business. For a group of 12 year-olds, that is something to admire.

Todd I agree, Your earlier comment didnt suggest unsportsmanlike behavior for the act of throwing around the horn.It is just nice to see the consistency of the Par Troy East Boys in all of their actions !!
Enjoy the Day It is well deserved !!

Ok, thanks for the clarification. I still don't view around the horn as a celebration though.
