Overview
- Bridgewater defeated Parkway 11-0 in the Massachusetts state final to claim the state championship in Holden.
- The team reached the title game after surviving an elimination game earlier in the tournament in which their pitching and timely hitting carried them forward.
- Pitcher Dominik Mombeleur delivered a standout complete-game one-hitter in a key elimination victory, and Anthony Sullivan supplied power with a solo home run in that earlier game.
- Players, parents and coaches celebrated emotionally after the win, with coach Joe Mombleur saying the team must now refocus because “the next chapter begins” and more work lies ahead.
- Bridgewater will head to the New England Regionals in Bristol, Conn., where winning the regional bracket would require additional victories and would earn the team a spot in the Little League World Series in Williamsport.
