Overview
- Port Washington opened Metro Region play with a 10-3 win over Rhode Island’s Lincoln, a game reporters say featured multi‑player run production and a two‑RBI double from shortstop Brandon Kien.
- Pitching in the opener limited Lincoln to three runs, with Carlo Cafferata and Drew Theoharis combining for five strikeouts and the trio of Cafferata, Theoharis and Jackson Gorynski holding Lincoln to three hits.
- New Jersey’s Bayonne beat Port Washington 12-2 in the winners‑bracket matchup, ending early and putting Bayonne one win from the Metro Region championship.
- Port Washington will move to a double‑elimination game against Darien with the winner earning a rematch with Bayonne for the regional title and a berth to the Little League World Series in Williamsport.
- The run has drawn broad local support, including a packed watch party, a youth‑activities fan bus and community fundraising, and teams in Bristol have had to manage a 75‑minute lightning delay and quick turnarounds between games.
