There was a reason Northampton had a great run this spring in baseball and part of that is having talent.

Three K-Kids were selected to the 2015 Lehigh Valley Carpenter Cup roster last week, as general manager J.F. Pirro selected 25 players from across District 11 for this year's tournament.

The roster is made up largely of East Penn Conference selections, as there are only four players on the team outside of the EPC.

Parkland has the most players on the team with four, followed by Allen and Northampton each bringing in three players apiece.

The Kids contingent includes the junior trio of Ian Csencsits (INF), Johnatan Miller (OF) and Will Stackhouse (INF-DH).

The tournament starts next week and will kick off with a Skills Day at FDR Park on June 15, as each team in the tournament will be represented by three underclassmen. Tournament play gets underway on June 17 at 12:30 p.m. for the Lehigh Valley team, as they open against Tri-Cape (NJ) at Ashburn Field in FDR Park.

The roster for this year's team includes: Travis VanHouten (P-INF, Sr., Pleasant Valley); Angel Ruiz (OF, Jr., Wm. Allen); Ivan Solis (C, Jr., Wm. Allen); Gianni Sinatore (OF, Jr., Whitehall); Evan McAndrew (P, Sr., Parkland); Jon Cintron (C-OF, Sr., Wilson); Justin Kratz (P-INF, Sr., Wm. Allen); Chad Cooperman (P-INF, Jr., Salisbury); Trey Durrah (1B, Jr., Easton); Chris Burke (C, So., North Schuylkill); Jake Kochmansky (INF, Jr., East Stroudsburg South); Nicholas Domenici (OF-P, Sr., Pleasant Valley); Logan Steidinger (C-DH, Sr., Liberty); Zachary Gilbert (P, So., Whitehall); Ian Csencsits (INF, Jr., Northampton); Chris Rabasco (INF-P, Sr., Parkland); Rhett Jacoby (P, Sr., Parkland); Jeremy Lovera (INF, Jr., Wm. Allen); Conner Higgins (P, Sr., Parkland); Jonathan Miller (OF, Jr., Northampton); Will Stackhouse (INF-DH, Jr., Northampton); Joel Wittle (OF, So., Pocono Mountain East); John Yocum (INF, Jr., Freedom); Tyler Schreiner (INF, So., Northwestern) and Sammy Kraihanzel (INF, So., Liberty).

The three players who will represent the Lehigh Valley in the Skills Day challenge include Emmett McCauley (Stroudsburg, C-INF), Matt Mellinger (Parkland, P-1B) and Dante Salerno (Marian Catholic, OF).

Should the Lehigh Valley move on past the first round, the remaining schedule would be as followed: June 19 (2 p.m.) vs. winner Jersey Shore-Burlington County at Ashburn Field; June 22 (1 p.m.) Semifinals at Citizens Bank Park and June 23 (10 a.m.) Championship Game at Citizens Bank Park.

LV is the visiting team in every game in the tournament except the championship game.
