West Deptford Duo Helps Olympic/Colonial to Carpenter Cup Win

Tony Urban and Tom Jakubowski’s seasons aren’t quite over yet.

The duo was selected for the Olympic/Colonial squad and helped the team score a 6-1 victory over Inter-AC/Independents in the first round of the Carpenter Cup Classic baseball tournament at Ashburn Field in FDR Park Monday morning.

Urban pitched two innings and was part of a six-pitcher staff that tossed a three-hitter. Olympic/Colonial advanced to face the winner of today’s game between Lehigh Valley and Philadelphia Public in Friday’s quarterfinals at Coca Cola Park in Allentown, PA.

The Carpenter Cup is a prestigious baseball tournament that features the top players in the tri-state area, made up in 16 teams. It is a single-elimination tournament that wraps up on Monday, June 20 and Tuesday, June 21 with the semifinals and finals at Citizens Bank Park.

The Olympic/Colonial, which consists of players from the two South Jersey conferences, has won the tournament four times since it debuted in 1986, but has not brought home the crown since 1997. Jersey Shore won the title in 2010.
