The following recap was written by Marc Theisinger:

WESTPORT, CT — Westport 12U Baseball won a district championship this past weekend in extraordinary fashion, 6-2 on a grand slam in the 9th inning against a very talented Fairfield National team.

This is the team’s third straight district championship after winning States at 10U and 11U, and only the third 12U title for Westport since 1957, the last one coming in 2013 when the team made it all the way to Williamsport and the National finals.
