PITTSBURGH – Warren’s Ryan Rafalski went 3-for-3 with a pair of RBIs and Aidan Kelly tossed a complete game 6-hitter to lead the Erie Steelheads 16U to a 10-1 win over the Batting 1,000 Seminoles (Freeport, NY) on Thursday at the University of Pittsburgh Mid-Atlantic Super Select.

In their final tournament of the season, the Steelies (27-8) got on the board in the second inning, with Rafalski driving in his high school teammate Micah Passmore (walk) with an RBI single.

Kelly helped his own cause in the third, lacing a single to right field to bring in Casey Smith (Harbor Creek).

Leading 2-1 in the fourth, Erie broke the game open with three more runs.

Meanwhile, Kelly was in cruise control on the mound, striking out four in his six innings of work.

The Steelies bats continued to scorch, scoring five more runs in the sixth.
