The teams 1st game was Friday night against Monell 2 Fire Company, although both teams played well Monell 2 won the game 11-7 putting Hastings into the losers bracket, but the team bounced back to win 14-8 against Rosyln Highlands on Saturday, then on to beat Amenia 14-2 to move the team into Sundays final rounds, the Pleasant Valley #1 team proved to be a very strong hitting team winning 19-2 and knocking Hastings out of the Tournament.

Highlights of the weekend were Brendan Quinlan's batting, he was 4 for 5 (that's .800) with a Home Run against the Amenia F.D., also we had Hastings Southside Club President Bill (Otto) Otivich stay with the team for the weekend and coach 1st base, coaching along with Otto was 3rd base coach Chief Jeff Bannon. Otto was quoted as saying "this team was by far the best team from Westchester County in the Tournament" later on Saturday night Otto stuck by his words when he found out that Hastings-on-Hudson is the only team from Westchester that still plays in the Tournament.

Chief Bannon was quoted as saying "this event is a great get together for the Department, traveling almost 2 hours, going to the Firemen's Home & Museum, setting up the equipment to cook for the families and also being in competition with other Fire Departments." Following are some pictures from the weekend.
