Regionals Game 2 Recap

For the Wellesley South Little Leaguers it was right there for the taking. After trailing 3-1 after 4 innings in tonight’s winner bracket finals against Warwick, Rhode Island South responded with a 5 run top of the 5th inning including a bases clearing double by Chris Kenney and then tacked on a run in the top of the 6th to hold a 7-3 lead just needing three outs to secure a spot in Saturday’s regional championship game. Unfortunately for South however it was not meant to be as Warwick stormed back to pull within one and then with one swing, a grandslam homer snatched that finals spot out of South’s hands. South still has a chance at glory however, as they will now move on to an elimination game Friday at 1 pm against either New Hampshire or Connecticut, the winner of that game will then turn around and meet Rhode Island for the title on Saturday. The game Friday will be broadcast on ESPN.
