SHS sophomore Teddy DeLorenzo coaches players from the Miracle of Westchester baseball team, a team that gives students with disabilities the chance to play baseball in league play. The Miracle Players repeatedly asked DeLorenzo if they could challenge the SHS JV Baseball team.
On Sunday May 18th DeLorenzo was able to make it happen ... and the big game was scheduled: The Scarsdale Raiders JV Baseball team accepted the challenge from the Miracle League of Westchester players. The Raiders were nothing short of surprised when the Miracle players held the Raiders scoreless for six innings with Joe "Real Deal" Reale taking the Raiders pitcher Ben Hasson over the fence for a two-run home run.
A great time was had by all including the parents in the stands, the Scarsdale JV team and most of all the Miracle League players on the field.
