“The bats really came alive in the fourth inning,” said Lewes/Rehoboth manager Tom Friscia. “This was a very good come-from-behind win.”

“If I could have divided the game ball 12 ways, each player would have received a piece of it,” said Friscia. “Everyone contributed, offensively and defensively.”
