New Hyde Park Little League (NHPLL) Girls Major Division

Giant Industrial was supposed to face off against Floral Park on May 2 but Floral Park unfortunately could not field a team for the day. On May 4 Giant Industrial faced off with Malverne 1 and walked away with a 17-2 win with the assistance of several call-ups to help them field a team.

Giant then met with West Hempstead on May 6 and again pulled off a 18-10 win at Averill Field. In Giant Industrial’s fourth game of the period they spared with Garden City South 2 team at Carey High School and left the field with a 20-5 win. This makes a seven-game winning streak for New Hyde Park’s Giant Industries, keep up the hard work girls. New Hyde Park’s William A. Gross only had one game for the period and they faced off with Garden City South 1 team. Although William A. Gross was short handed, like most of New Hyde Park’s opponents this week, they were augmented by their sister team and won the closely contended competition 18-12.

Giant Industrial is 8-1 while William A. Gross is 4-2 on the 2013 season.
