And they’re beating New Hampshire 9-1 in the 4th inning of the Little League Regional Finals! Stop everything and watch them.
UPDATE: Newton SouthEast just won 9-2, keeping the team alive in the tournament. Disclaimer: I do not understand how this tournament works, but I believe that at least one team proceeds to Williamsport — a dream for all diehard Little League players.
Congrats Newton SE LL!
They have one more game today, vs Connecticut (4pm on NESN). If they win, they will advance to the semifinal Thursday. If they lose, it appears they will be eliminated (not 100% sure, but that is what the math looks like).
The New England final game is Saturday, the winner of that advancing to the World Series in Williamsport.

Again congrats to the boys, who just ended their run with a loss to Westport, CT.
They did a great job!!!!
Congratulations to the players; they have achieved a significant accomplishment. Thank you to the coaches for volunteering their time and knowledge; it is a major commitment on their part giving the kids a life-long memory.
