RI beat NY, 7-1, and headed to the Little League World Series

Bristol, Connecticut – Change the layout as you like. Rhode Island still knows the way to the Little League World Series.

Placement in the Metro area against a traditional three powerhouse and double rate cancelation was a perfect fit for Smithfield. Winner takes all is where you thrived last month. Friday night at Brain Field against New York champions Massapequa Coast was no different.

Connor Curtis was in command on the mound. Brady McShane was claw at the plate. The seventh contest of the championship came on the biggest stage yet, and Smithfield again passed the test.

Brayden Castillon’s final hit in relief sent hats and mittens into the summer sky. Rhode Island stormed to a 7-1 win over New York, claiming the state’s seventh regional title since 2011 and a corresponding ticket to Williamsport, Pennsylvania.

“I had confidence in my team,” McShane said. “We just had to play our game and we’ll be fine.”
