MANCHESTER – The Portsmouth Little League 10-12 all-star team will play for the District II championship on Saturday, July 25, after a 7-4 win over top-seeded North Manchester/Hooksett on Wednesday, July 22.
"The boys stayed composed and strung together good at-bats when we needed them most," Portsmouth manager Charley Raizes said. "Dreyton (Srimouksavanh) continued to battle on the mound when faced with some adversity and was able to help prevent a comeback. We're excited for the opportunity to compete for a district championship."
Portsmouth will face the winner of Thursday's game between North Manchester/Hooksett and Concord in the championship. The championship game will be played at Charles Dwinell Park in Tilton at 10 a.m.
After a scoreless first inning, Portsmouth broke through in the second when Sam Carter and Ryder Raizes each singled, and Joey Coakley added a third single to right field to score the game's first two runs.
Portsmouth erupted for five runs on four hits in the fourth inning. Srimouksavanh led off with a single, and two walks loaded the bases for Carter, who delivered an RBI infield single. Ryder Raizes followed with a two-run single to left field, and Bennett Smith added a two-run hit of his own to extend Portsmouth's lead to 7-0.
