On Sunday April 27, 13U Eagle Matthew Monaghan retired the first 13 batters he faced before giving up a hit against the Bergenfield Bears at Overpeck County Park in Ridgefield Park, NJ.
He ultimately threw a 3-hit, 7-inning complete-game shutout striking out 6 and walking only 3 in the Eagles 3-0 win. Only 6 balls left the infield.
Matt holds the distinction of being the first Eagles player to hit a home run at Cooperstown Dreams Park (2013) and he is the current longest-tenured player in the Eagles Baseball program. A member of the first Eagles 8U team while still only 7, Matthew has played all nine positions on the field during his Eagles career.
Frank Spano came to the Eagles program a couple of years ago and impressed the coaches with his pitching, hitting and fielding abilities. A left-handed pitcher, he possesses a plus fastball and hits for power and average from the left side.
