Baseball Players Compete in 2024 Carpenter Cup, Awarded Delaware All-State and All-Conference Accolades

6/11/2024

The Carpenter Cup Classic, a baseball tournament for sixteen high school All-Star teams from Eastern Pennsylvania, South and Central Jersey and Delaware, expose the region’s high school players to college recruiters and professional scouts, with playing rules that encourage coaches to use their entire roster. Each year more than 400 high school players from the tri-state area are able to showcase their skills. The Carpenter Cup has been a catalyst for many players to receive scholarships or admission to some of the country's finest universities. This year five Auks have been named to the "Delaware North" roster: Jonathan O’Boyle, Carsten Kaiser, Aiden Pirozek, Jason Lotkowski and Hunter Skelton. The team is led by Archmere baseball coaches Nick Sanna, Calvin Scott and Billy Phillips.

The first two rounds of the single-elimination tournament are played at FDR Park in Philadelphia, with the semifinals and final played at Citizens Bank Park. Delaware North will take on Philadelphia Public at 12:30pm in its tournament opener on Tuesday, June 11.
