The DC Grays finished the season with a record of 14-22 – two games out of a playoff spot in the Cal Ripken Sr. Collegiate Baseball League. While the results on the field didn’t measure up to the
pre-season expectations, several players had terrific seasons for manager Maurice Bankston’s club. The strength of the this edition of the Grays was on the mound, where three DC hurlers were among the Ripken League leaders in various pitching categories. Not coincidentally, all three were named to the All-Ripken League team. Michael Sills (Wofford) had the lowest ERA in the Ripken League at 2.20. He posted a record of 2-1 in 28.2 innings, with 31 strikeouts. He was the only Gray named first team All-League. Jake Roberti (George Mason) was a staff workhorse and strikeout artist. He lead the team with 38 innings pitched and 39 strikeouts (fifth in the Ripken League), posting a 3-1 record for the season with a 3.55 ERA (sixth in the Ripken League. James Layman (Wofford) played well defensively all around the infield for the Grays, and was the top offensive performer for the team. Batting near the top of the order, he lead the team with a .340 batting average (good for eight in the league) with seven RBI and eight steals. Matt Colella (Lafayette) played mostly second base and shortstop, and batted .333 on the season with 13 RBI and six steals. In the field, he had good range and a strong arm. Sills was named to the All-Ripken League first team, while Roberti, Layman and Colella was named to the second team.
