MA Tavern Honors Little League World Series Team With Food Specials: Cheap Eats

BRAINTREE, MA — Braintree American Little League was dominant as they marched through the state and regional tournaments. The team's first game didn't go so well at the Little League World Series in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, but it won't put a damper on local support.

That includes from a local restaurant which, in the run-up to game one, ran food specials in honor of the team's roster.

SouthSide Tavern, which has hosted watch parties for the team as they trounced opponents in route to the national stage, has run specials all week highlighting players.

From Naumann salmon to Inglis chicken tacos and even the Needles mixed grill and Fasoli's baked penne and meatballs, the kitchen at SouthSide Tavern has been working to drive buzz and honor the historic team.

The Williamsport trio has been a mainstay all week, offering diners two cheeseburger sliders, garlic parmesan wings and fried pickles.

SouthSide also hosted a livestream of the team's game on Thursday, which saw Braintree (known as New England at the World Series) fall to the Southeastern regional champions from South Carolina 13-0.

Now, New England will face the Southwest on Saturday at 3 p.m.
