Posted

Rockville Centre Little League’s 10-and-under, 11-and-under, and 12-and-under teams each won the title of District 30 champions this season.

The 10-and-under Williamsport team was undefeated in District 30, with a 3-0 record to finish the season. RVC defeated Lynbrook (8-1) on June 25, followed by a (5-1) win over Oceanside and a (10-2) victory over Lynbrook in the championship match on July 7.

The 11-and-under Williamsport team started districts at Hickey Field with a tough loss to Oceanside (3-2), but battled back to win against Long Beach (10-0), Baldwin (20-0), and then came back to beat Oceanside (1-0). In the district championship match, the RVC Little League 11u team took home the title with a hard-fought (3-2) victory over Oceanside.

The 12-and-under Williamsport team defeated Freeport (14-0) and Lynbrook (11-5) on the road to becoming D30 champions. While the team lost in the first championship game (6-3), the RVC Little League 12u team rallied back to defeat Oceanside (9-2) at Greis Park in Lynbrook, in an unexpected two-day match that was delayed due to rain.

Despite having been eliminated in the sectional round, every player on the teams showed the level of tenacity and skill necessary to compete at the highest level and they had a great time while doing it.

All of the coaches are very proud of the teams for all of their success and are grateful to the parents and members of the RVC Little League for the opportunity to coach these incredible young athletes.
