A magical ride for the Berlin Little League All-Stars ended on a rainy night in the Mid-Atlantic Regional in Bristol, Conn.
Naamans Little League, the Delaware state champions, scored 11 times in the fifth inning to eliminate the Maryland state champions 12-4 on Aug. 10.
The trip to Connecticut could have had a much different ending as Berlin led by three runs in the fifth inning of both of its games.
"This is a great group of kids that we have," Berlin Little League manager Anthony Torreullas said. "It is a painful one, especially at this age. Just reassuring them how great it was to get here, how proud we are, how much we love them and they are going to remember times like this for the rest of their lives. The collective effort for the last couple of months, we appreciate it."
Delaware took the lead in the top of the fourth inning on Paddy Grugan's RBI single. That came one batter after Berlin center fielder Declan Soares made a catch after falling down.
