THE STATE CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES JULY 22 - 29, 2010
THE NEW ENGLAND REGIONALS AUGUST 3 - AUGUST 10, 2010

After four close games in four days, Quincy’s Babe Ruth team for 13-year-olds was eliminated from the state championship series.

A 5-4 loss to Plymouth and a 3-2 loss to Wakefield knocked the Quincy team out of the competition.

“I think a lot of them expected more, but they played some great baseball and should be proud,” Quincy Babe Ruth League President Dick Lombardi said. “There were a couple of sloppy games during the series, but most of the games were pretty well played.”

The coaches for Quincy’s 13-year-old team are Rick Beach, Dave Suslowicz and Sean O’Connor.

In its first game, on Saturday, Quincy beat Taunton, 9-6. On Sunday night, the team beat Norwood, 3-2.

Tonight’s championship game between Plymouth and Wakefield is scheduled for 7:30 at Adams Field in Quincy.

The winner will advance to the New England Regionals in Vermont on Saturday.
