The Lewis County Little League Baseball program was recently host and witness to one of the more stellar and dominating seasons in recent county history. In the Majors Division (ages 10-12 years old), the Marlins finished the regular season with an impressive 14-1 record. But, the Marlins didn’t stop there.
As the top seed in their division of the Lewis County Little League World Series this past June, the Marlins advanced to the Championship game after defeating the Cardinals in their opening series. They then defeated the Red Sox in consecutive games to claim the 2010 Championship Title.
Marlins coaches commented that consistent pitching and team hitting were their keys to success. They also applauded the hard work and enthusiasm the team displayed throughout the season. The Marlins coaches also went on to note and thank the support of the league, the parents and family members, the fans, and all the supporters, and their sponsor McCarty‘s Septic Service of Weston.
