Page 16 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – THuRsDAy, July 3, 2025 Everett Little League Williamsport all-stars drop District 12 opener to Charlestown By Joe McConnell T he Everett Little League 11-12-year-old Williamsport all-star team dropped its first game in the District 12 portion of the tournament to Charlestown at Langone Field in the North End last Friday night (June 27), 7-1. It was a game, however, that could have gone either way, according to manager Kevin Blatt. Blatt’s team is made up of mostly 11-year-olds – eight to be exact – with the remaining four on the roster consisting of 12s. “We’re a little younger than the other teams in the district,” said Blatt. “But this team is capable of doing everything well. We have good pitching, hitting, defense and speed.” If there’s anything that can be said of the team’s youthfulness, the probable returnees for next year’s Williamsport roster will have that necessary experience to handle the pressures of this granddaddy of all youth baseball tournaments. Angel Baca (11), Logan Salie (11), Giovanni Blatt (11), Jason Oliveira, Jr. (12). Joshua (O’Neil) Santana (11), Denzel Reyes (12), Lorenzo Papa (11), Jovani Namey (11), Kayaki Battle (11), Albert Yan (12), Niko Kotsiopoulos (11) and Symon Golden (12) are this year’s Williamsport all-stars from Everett. Billy Kotsiopoulos and Jimmy Schaefer are Blatt’s assistant coaches. Oliveira, one of the team’s oldest players, was Monday night’s starting pitcher against Dorchester at Sacramone Park after press deadline. The Everett 12-yearold hurler was looking to lead his teammates into the win column to avoid being eliminated in two straight games.
