About once every decade or so in Lehigh Valley\u2019s Blue Mountain League baseball, a team puts together a great run of success.<\/span><\/p>\n

Nearly 20 years ago, it was the Hellertown Royals winning three consecutive BML titles with perhaps, the most dominating pitching staff the league has ever seen. Before COVID, the Northern Yankees put together three tremendous seasons, which was unique because the team had just jumped into the league after being a part of the now-defunct Tri-County Baseball Conference.<\/span><\/p>\n

And to perhaps top both of those team\u2019s accomplishments, last year\u2019s Orioles squad did something that apparently no other team had ever done in the 77th year history of the organization.\u00a0 It swept ALL of its three rounds of playoff games, without losing a single contest, en route to its second title in a row.<\/span><\/p>\n

This year, the team changed its sponsorship\u2026a few of its players\u2026and its manager.\u00a0 Yet, entering this week, the O\u2019s are once again one of the top teams in the league.\u00a0 If they have had any perceived \u201chiccups\u201d so far, you could point to the fact that they have several baseball players on the Whitehall High School team\u2013who ended up being the last team from the area standing in the state playoffs.\u00a0 For that reason, they were missing a few of their young players which may have had a factor in their few early season losses.<\/span><\/p>\n

That being said, they return many faces from last year\u2019s team.\u00a0 They also have a pitcher on the brink of shattering an all-time record in the history of the league.<\/span><\/p>\n

These and other storylines about the Orioles will be discussed on this Thursday\u2019s live \u201cSportsTalk\u201d show.\u00a0 Tune into the Astound TV Network this week at 7pm or, if you are away from your TV sets, dial the show up on our free live-stream by going to YouTube, type in \u201cAstound TV Network,\u201d and click on the \u201clive\u201d tab on our stations YouTube page.<\/span><\/p>\n
