Waterford has a little early luck

It's nice to be good, it's great to be lucky.
Waterford got a little of that in the first inning of their American Legion state tournament game at Palmer Field in Middletown.
Mickey Amanti hit a one-out chopper that he beat out to first base. A ground out advanced him to second and Jake Simon followed with a hot shot down to third that resulted in a second infield hit.
Jack O'Keefe got the luckiest of all as his pop up to short left field was lost in the sun and dropped for a single that scored Amanti.
Starting pitcher Matt Fulton was also a little lucky as he walked the first two Oakville batters he faced before he got a called third strike. That was followed by a line drive to Matt Tuneski at second who flipped to Amanti for the double play.
