DRUMS, PA — A summer to remember keeps getting better for the Lehigh Little League 9/10 All-Stars.

With a poised, all-around performance on Saturday afternoon, Lehigh clinched the 2025 Pennsylvania 9/10-Year-Old State Championship, defeating Upper Providence Little League, 3-1, at Valley East Little League in Drums. The win capped a perfect postseason run, as Lehigh stormed through District, Section, and State play with an unblemished 11-0 record.

It marks the league’s first 9/10 state baseball title since 2004.

Championship Win Built on Fundamentals and Fire

In the state final, Lehigh jumped out early when Jack Misko laced an RBI double in the top of the first inning. An error in the third allowed another run to cross, and Johnny Shireman provided an insurance RBI in the fifth to make it 3-1.

On the mound, Caleb Yoder was lights out. The right-hander went five innings, allowing just three hits and one unearned run while striking out four. RJ Rivera closed the door with a perfect sixth inning in relief.

Lehigh’s offense stayed balanced and patient, with five players — Noah Domitrovits, Misko, Hunter Roth, Rivera, and Levi Chacko — each collecting a hit in the victory.
