Delaware Carpenter Cup baseball rosters announced

St. Marks’s senior Andrew Reich is one of 50 Delaware high school baseball players scheduled to participate in the 31st annual Carpenter Cup next week in Philadelphia.

The 25-man rosters for the Delaware North and Delaware South teams scheduled to play in the 31st Phillies Carpenter Cup Classic baseball tournament have been announced.

The annual event brings together 16 teams representing varying high school conferences and regions from Delaware, Pennsylvania and New Jersey. 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.

The Carpenter Cup is seen as an opportunity to expose the region’s high school players to college recruiters and professional scouts, with playing rules that encourage coaches to use their entire roster. All games are nine innings, with pitchers limited to three innings per game. Bunting is not allowed until the seventh inning, and intentional walks are not allowed at any time.

The First State has won the Carpenter Cup twice, with Delaware South taking home the trophy in 2000 and Delaware winning the inaugural title in 1986 when the state was represented by only one team.

Delaware South will meet Berks County (Pa.) in its tournament opener at 12:30 p.m. Tuesday. Delaware North will take on Inter-Ac/Independents (Pa.) at 9 a.m. Wednesday.

If Delaware South wins, its quarterfinal game will be at 10:30 a.m. Friday, June 17. If Delaware North wins, its quarterfinal game will be at 12:30 p.m. June 17.

The semifinals will be played at 9:30 a.m. and 1 p.m. Tuesday, June 21, with the championship game at 10 a.m. Friday, June 24.
