Well, my son, J-Bird, ended his run for a Little League championship in Williamsport as his team lost the District championship to Carlisle, 4-0. The Carlisle pitcher threw a no-hitter, only surrendering two walks, and they got a 2 out 2 run single in the top of thefifth and a 2 out 2 run homer in the 6th for the win. A scary moment happened late in the game when a Carlisle base runner tried to break up a double play attempt and went in high to second base just when our second baseman pivoted and fired sidearmed and hit the runner at point blank range just above the bridge of the nose. happily, he was okay.

Our team did well to reach the championship game in a district with 25 all-star teams. All in all, J-Bird's teams went 29-6 with a league championship, which was nice.

Little League adds a nice touch at the end of tournament games by giving each player a hot dog and soda after the game. It really fosters camaraderie and sportsmanship.
