East Greenwich Little League tournament teams are on a roll, with the 11-12 year old team beating Warwick at Cragan 6-0, following up another big win against Narragansett Monday night.

“We have a great bunch of kids on our 11/12 EGLL tournament team this year,” said Coach Mike Macaulay. “We beat a decent Warwick Continental team last night at Cragan Field, 6-0. The boys played great defense behind solid pitching from Brad Lombardi and Ryan Macaulay. We hit well as a team too, as our lineup is strong throughout.”

The team is 3-1 in the District 3 double-elimination tournament – the winner of the state tournament then moves into the next phase of the Little League World Series track. EG’s next game is Sunday at Cragan against Wickford at 6:30 p.m.
