The last time that Berlin Little League sent a team to the Little League Mid-Atlantic regional tournament at Breen Field in Bristol, Conn., they battled their way to the 2018 championship game by winning three elimination games.
This time out, Berlin manager Anthony Torreullas reminded his players that there is still plenty of baseball left to play, even after a heartbreaking 7-6 loss to Washington DC on Aug. 9.
Berlin led 5-1 and 6-3 before Capitol Hill Little League manufactured four runs in the bottom of the fifth inning thanks to two walks, two hits and two Maryland errors to have a 7-6 lead going into the sixth inning.
Berlin had the tying run on when Jonah Isett was hit by a pitch, but Everett Choi struck out the last two hitters to end the game. Berlin will play either Pennsylvania or Delaware on Monday at 5 p.m. in an elimination game.
"We said to just keep their heads up," Torreullas said. "They played a great game against a really great team and came out not on the victorious end, but I am proud of them. They showed a lot of fight. We fought all the way to that last pitch.
