Delgado earned a spot on the All-Region Tournament team. 

Sanchez produced eight home runs during the month of April. He hit .482 with 29 runs scored and 22 RBIs. He drilled seven doubles, stole 11 bases, and drew just as many walks. Sanchez earned a save on the mound (a shutout inning at Suffolk County) which helped the Express claim the #1-seed in the Region 15 Playoffs.

His momentum continued beyond the month, as Sanchez got the final out to clinch the Region 15 Championship and a spot in the Northeast District Championship Series for Monroe - Bronx. It marked Sanchez's third save of the season.
