🇲🇹⚾ DAY 2 IN ANZIO — ANOTHER DAY OF GROWTH! 🇮🇹

Day 2 of the Coastal Baseball Tournament brought another two valuable games for the Malta Pat Pace Baseball Academy, as our young athletes continued to gain experience against strong Italian opposition. 💪⚾

⚾ GAME 1 | MALTA 4 – LIONS 12

Kole Bartolo Micallef got the start on the mound, with Benjamin Pace and Yazmin Cauchi Vassallo coming in in relief.

After a difficult opening three innings, Malta settled into the game and held the Lions scoreless for the remainder, while Dale Galea made an impact after coming into the game with a triple. 👏

⚾ GAME 2 | BKD 8 – MALTA 3

Amy Summer Elliott started on the mound and Lucia Zhang closed out the game.

At the plate, Max Bianco found his groove with some great hits, while Kole Bartolo and Nicholas Pace executed excellent bunt singles. 🔥

Malta loaded the bases with two outs in the third before Dale Galea sent a deep fly towards the wall — however BKD made a great catch to end the inning and limit the damage to 1 run.

The scores don't tell the whole story. These kids have the talent. 🇲🇹❤️ What they need is more experience training and competing regularly on a proper baseball facility. With the right environment and more opportunities to play the game, we believe they can continue developing and compete at a much higher level.

Every inning played here is valuable experience. We're incredibly proud of their effort, attitude and determination to keep improving. 💪🇲🇹

A huge thank you to those who continue to support the Academy and make opportunities like this possible:

🇲🇹⚾ DAY 1 IN ANZIO — PROUD OF THIS TEAM! ⚾🇮🇹

An action-packed first day at the Coastal Baseball Tournament, with our young athletes showing plenty of fight, determination and some great baseball! 💪🔥

⚾ GAME 1 | BKD 5 – MALTA 4

A game that went right down to the wire! Matteo Ciappara gave us a strong start on the mound, while Lucia Zhang drove in all four of Malta’s runs! 🔥

Max Bianco and Benjamin Pace were excellent in the outfield, combining for five outs. Malta fought back to tie the game 4–4 in the fifth, before BKD eventually brought home the winning run.

⚾ GAME 2 | LIONS 12 – MALTA 7

After falling behind early, this team showed exactly what they’re made of and never stopped fighting! 🇲🇹💪

Amy Elliott delivered a huge two-run triple, while Nathan Buttigieg stole the show on the mound with a fantastic performance. 👏

And what a way to finish...

💥 Matteo Ciappara with an INSIDE-THE-PARK HOME RUN in the sixth! 💥

Two defeats on the scoreboard, but so much to be proud of. Our athletes competed, supported each other and continued to improve with every inning.

Heads held high. Today we go again! 🇲🇹⚾🔥

⚾🇮🇹 FIRST PRACTICE IN ANZIO!

Yesterday, the Malta Pat Pace Baseball Academy took to the field for our first practice session at Campo Reatini as we prepare for this weekend’s Coastal Baseball Tournament. 💪⚾

The session focused mainly on batting practice, followed by our pre-game routine, before finishing with pitching and catching work and some fly balls.

It was a good first session to settle in, get comfortable on the field and start preparing for the tournament ahead.

Today, we’ll be back on the field for another practice session, continuing our preparations before the tournament gets underway tomorrow! 🔥🇲🇹
