End Of The Line (Game 3 Recap)

We’ve all heard the addage all good things must come to an end, and unfortunately for Wellesley South that came true today in the New England Regional semifinals. Needing just one win to advance to the regional championship game, and trying to bounce back from a heartbreaking loss Wednesday, South fell behind early and unfortunately this time could not recover as they fell to Fairfield, Connecticut 11-0 in 5 innings. Fairfield now moves on to the regional title game tomorrow to take on Warwick, Rhode Island. Despite the loss Wellesley South has a lot to be proud of as they became just the second Wellesley team to make it to regionals and continued quite a successful run for District 10 at both the sectional and state levels as the district 10 champion won section 3 for the 9th consecutive year and the state championship for the second consecutive year, 4th in the last 5 years (Newton Southeast and Wellesley South). Throughout it all Wellesley South represented the town, the district, the section, and then the state to the best of their ability and played the game the right way, and even when the going got tough, they never gave up. We at Wellesley Sports Blitz would like to congratulate South on an amazing tournament run as they gave themselves and the town memories that will last a lifetime!
