Lawrence Girls Compete in Softball Tournament

Editor's Note: The following is a news release that was issued by Lawrence Little League Softball.

A team of all-stars from Lawrenceville Little League Softball recently participated in the New Jersey District 12 tournament for 9- and 10-year-old girls. The girls were chosen from the league’s five teams, three at the minor league level and two at the major league level.

The Lawrence All-Stars competed against 9-10 all-star teams from the towns of Florence in Burlington County and New Egypt in Ocean County. Despite being eliminated from the double-elimination tournament, the girls benefited from facing tough competition and from intense practices over the course of three weeks to develop their skills.

Tony Indelicato, who managed the Sports Authority team in the Lawrence league’s minor division during the regular season, was head coach for the all-stars.

All-star bench coaches were Howard Seidman and Andrew Harter, both of whom coached the Vinch Recycling team in the minors. The team also flourished under the guidance of assistant coach Andy Glass, who managed Vinch Recycling this year and has been coaching Lawrence Little League Softball teams for over 10 years.

Lawrence Little League Softball, in an effort to provide more opportunities for players to play more games and develop skills, has scheduled a fall season.

Games will be held on Friday nights in September and October at Colavita Field, located in Lawrence Township’s Central Park athletic complex. All girls aged 8 to 12 who reside within Lawrence Township are invited to play.
