WORCESTER – Hard work, determination, a commitment to practice and perseverance. Those are the keys in which Lou Gehrig coach John Connolly credits to his team as they prepare to travel to DuBois, Pennsylvania for the Junior Little League All-Stars East Region Tournament.
"It feels great," Dominic Eilert said. "It's a great opportunity that we get to show people that we're great and how good we are, and we've been doing this. I've been playing for Lou Gehrig for a long time, so it's a good feeling to play with these kids, but I know them and they're all good kids."
Lou Gehrig defeated North Reading in the final on July 19 in Oxford to qualify for the East Regional. Connolly believes his team's depth is what has helped them all season long.
"All my kids can pitch," Connolly said. "I've got a lot of pitching depth. We've very strong. I think our biggest strength is our lineup. We can hit one through 12. We don't have a weak spot in our lineup. My 12 hitter is as good or close as good enough to my leadoff hitter."
The team's depth was tested in a game at Fitton Field, in which they found themselves short-staffed.
