“Although we didn’t have the success that we were hoping to this year, it was a pleasure to coach such a great group of kids,” said Lewes coach Jason Pease. “Many of them have been together for several years. A couple more big hits and our results likely would’ve been different. I’m confident that with the success our minors program has had, with three straight district championships under coach Hershelman, Lewes Little League will be very successful for years to come.”
