Waterford is having fun in Middletown

Four runs, three double plays in the first three innings.
It sounds like a winning combination and, so far, it has been for Waterford as it has opened a 4-0 lead over Oakville in the American Legion baseball state tournament at Palmer Field in Middletown.
Waterford scored three more times in the third inning as Ben Farina singled and went to third when Mickey Amanti reached on an error. Amanti stole second, Pat Epps lofted a sacrifice fly and Jake Simon doubled home another run.
After Jack O'Keefe walked, Kyle Turnier singled to drive in the fourth run.
About the only thing that didn't go right was Turnier being thrown out at the plate after a fly ball by Matt Tuneski.
Waterford pitcher Matt Fulton was helped again in the third inning by the third double play of the game for the combo of shortstop Amanti and second baseman Tuneski.
