Having just finished up their sophomore year in college, BucksLocalSports was wondering whatever happened to the members of the Council Rock-Newtown Little League team that captured both state and Mid-Atlantic Region championships in 2005.
Of the bunch, catcher Dave Pine has probably seen more collegiate action than anyone, manning the backstop for Millersville. Eight years ago, for CR-Newtown, he served as battery-mate for pitchers Keith Terry and Darren Lauer.
Pine was joined by Ryan Hartley at shortstop, Blaise Lezynski at third base, infielder Greg Guers, Jim McDade on the mound and Benn Parker in the outfield. They were all members of the first team in Lower Bucks to go to the Little League World Series since Levittown-American did it in 1960 and again in ?61.
Last year, Pine batted 260 with six doubles, a home run and 18 RBI for a Marauders team that went 40-18 and 18-6 in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC). Pine also possessed a .350 slugging percentage and a .419 on-base percentage after drawing 21 walks and getting hit by seven pitches.
Dave had a lot of good games the last two seasons at Millersville including a 3-for-3 batting performance with two walks, five runs and two RBIs at Lincoln on April 3. He pieced together a season-best, five-game hitting streak from April 14 to 26.
Starting 37 games behind the plate, Pine ranked second on the team in walks per plate appearance. Dave also stole three bases and threw out seven runners.
Starting six of the eight postseason games for the Marauders, Pine tallied two hits and scored a run against West Chester in the PSAC Tournament loss to the Golden Rams. He also doubled and scored a run in a 5-4 NCAA Atlantic Regional win over Concord. Two games later, Dave also doubled against Seton Hill, though it wasn't enough to stop the Marauders from suffering a 12-2 loss to the Griffins, thus ending the season for Pine and the rest of his gang.
From the time he stepped onto the field at Cooper Park, Pine meshed with the Marauders, breaking into the lineup right away at Millerville and producing an impressive rookie campaign. Offensively, he batted .271 with two doubles, two triples, eight RBIs and three stolen bases.
Onlookers say he handled the difficult task of a freshman catching a veteran pitching staff flawlessly. With Pine stationed behind the plate, the Maruaders posted a 13-7-1 record.
A week after making his college debut, Pine went 2-for-5 with two RBIs, a steal and a run scored at Chowan. He followed that the very next day with a 2-for-4, one RBI performance and tallied five hits and four runs in a March doubleheader against Lincoln. In the opener, he went 3-for-4 with three runs, a double, triple and an RBI then recorded two hits, an RBI and a run scored in game two. Continued...
Pine helped the Marauders to a key, walk-off win over No. 5 West Chester where he tripled in the game-tying run in the bottom of the seventh and later scored the winning run on a sacrifice fly.In the 2012 postseason, Dave Went 2-for-3 with a walk and sacrifice in a PSAC Tournament win over California (Pa.) in a 6-2 triumph.
JIM MCDADE
Pine has the pleasure of sharing the college baseball spotlight with former teammate Jim McDade, though the righthander played his high school ball at Holy Ghost Prep, not Council Rock North like the rest of the gang.
After red-shirting his freshman year at Millersville, McDade totaled a 3-5 record in 12 starts and 47.1 innings pitched for the Marauders last season.
In his in collegiate debut Feb. 9 at Winston-Salem State, McDade got knocked out early after allowing six hits and five runs (one earned) in 2.2 innings in a 17-5 loss to the Rams at BB&T Ballpark.
A week later, McDade scored his first career victory at Shorter after allowing two runs on four hits and five walks over five innings of work. Jim suffered his first collegiate loss despite allowing just three runs on four hits in five innings at Shepherd in a March matchup for the Marauders. He bounced back with a strong outing against Indiana (Pa.) however on March 23, allowing two runs on five hits in five innings on the mound. His longest outing of the season came on March 30 against Bloomsburg where he surrendered just three runs on five hits in six innings of work.
Jimmy scored a victory over eventual PSAC Tournament champs East Stroudsburg on May 4 when he held the Warriors to two runs and struck out three in 5.2 innings on the hill. His best stretch of the season came in three consecutive starts against Mansfield, West Chester and East Stroudsburg when he went 1-0, held batters to a .241 average, registered a 2.70 ERA and 10 strikeouts in 13.1 innings of work.
McDade struck out three or more batters in four of his last five starts though he was roughed up by West Chester in a PSAC elimination matchup after giving up five runs on five hits and two walks in 1.1 innings on the hill.
RYAN HARTLEY Continued...
A year after appearing in 38 games (31 starts at third base and one at designated hitter) during a freshman campaign that saw him hit .299 for the University of Delaware (fifth among returners for the Blue Hens) infielder Ryan Hartley got into just 15 games (3 starts) this year, making just 13 plate appearances. He made the most of the opportunity, however, hitting .308 with four hits including one double and one home run.BLAISE LEZYNSKI
Lezynski is an incoming junior at Notre Dame where he hit .224 in 29 games (14 starts) last season for the Fighting Irish.
A year after hitting just .154 as a pinch-hitter, Lezynski slapped 13 hits for the Irish in 2013, including five doubles and two home runs. Lezynski? also possessed a slugging percentage of .414 and an on-base percentage of .286 after totaling 24 bases and getting on board on three walks and twice as a hit batsman.
BENN PARKER
A Council Rock North graduate, Parker hit .243 with eight RBI and 14 runs scored for Dickinson College baseball team this spring.
The Red Devils swept the final double-header of the season April 27 at home in Carlisle, posting an 8-3 win over Washington College in the opener and a 9-5 decision in the nightcap.
Playing a position in right field, Parker, a sophomore from Newtown, went 1-for-4 in both games of the double-header, scoring a run for the home team in the opener.
Dickinson finished the season at 14-24 overall, 4-13 in the Centennial Conference.
GREG GUERS Continued...
A graduate of Germantown Academy, Guers is now playing baseball at Penn State, alongside former Council Rock South lefthander Greg Welsh. At the University of Southern California Upstate, Greg started in 42 of 46 contests for the Spartans in 2012, ending his rookie season with a .309 batting average after collecting 54 hits, 37 runs and 36 RBIs. He also hit 11 doubles, one triple and four home runs at USC.DARREN LAUER
A graduate of CR North, Lauer is listed as a sophomore pitcher for the Guilford Technical Community College Titans. GTCC is based in Jamestown, North Carolina.

After capturing the 2005 Pennsylvania Little League trophy with a 6-0 win over Tamaqua, Newtown went on to a 6-0 record at regionals, defeating Toms River American, 4-3, to win the Mid-Atlantic Region Championship. Ironically, this year's CR-Newtown Little League lost to Toms River National in the region finale.
The Keystone State champions qualified for the 59th Little League Baseball World Series by scoring two runs in the fourth and fifth innings to overcome two solo home runs by Toms River. Lauer was the winning pitcher in relief of starter Keith Terry. The Newtown pitchers combined to strike out nine batters from the New Jersey team.
Benn Parker had the key hit for Council Rock, a two-run single to right field with the bases loaded in the bottom of the fifth inning. The victory was Newtown?s second 4-3 win over Toms River in the regional tourney.
Council Rock became the first Mid-Atlantic champion representing the Keystone State since Pottsville?s Railway Park LL made the trip to Williamsport in 1997.
The Newtown team that's in college now went 1-2 in the World Series, dropping its first two games to Hawaii (7-1) and Florida (3-1) before pounding Davenport, Iowa, 15-0, in a game shortened by the mercy rule. Terry pitched the 13th no-hitter since Little League pool play began in 1992.
