Series a home run from first pitch to last out

Countless hours of preparation, great baseball, and some good weather helped spur another successful Series in Quincy as Norwalk, Conn., went home with the title. View and buy photos.

After blowing a 6-1 lead in a semifinal against Youngstown, Ohio, Norwalk players were probably thinking about anything but their dreams of winning the Babe Ruth 14-year-old World Series.  But less than 24 hours after their walk-off win, that dream came true in a 6-3 victory over Tallahassee, Fla.

Tallahassee, Fla., the Babe Ruth 13-year-old World Series champions from a year ago, bested Nederland, Texas, 4-2, Friday night to advance to the championship game of the 14-year-old World Series. The Southeast Regional champions play Norwalk, Conn., at 1 p.m. Saturday back at Adams Field in Quincy.

 

Norwalk, Conn., lost a 6-1 lead but came back to win its semifinal by a 7-6 score over Youngstown, Ohio, to become the first team to gain a spot in this year's Babe Ruth 14-year-old World Series final.

 

The 2008 Babe Ruth World Series is already half gone, but performances are about to ramp up as championship day nears.
 Two players who simply cannot be playing any better so far are Norwalk, Conn.’s Kevin Daniele and Palo Alto, Calif.’s B.J. Boyd. The pair are the only two players to hit home runs to go yard in the tournament and are the front-runners for the Most Outstanding Player award.

Nederland, Texas, completed the semifinal field of the Babe Ruth 14-year-old World Series, winning, 13-0, in their quarterfinal over Syracuse, N.Y. The Southwest Regional champs will play Tallahassee, Fla., in an 8:30 semifinal tonight.

 

Youngstown, Ohio, defeated Palo Alto, Calif.,  by a 17-10 score to earn a place in the semifinals. They will face Norwalk, Conn., in a 5:30 p.m. semifinal today that will be a rematch of the tournament's opening game; Youngstown was a 4-3 winner.

It may not have been a grand slam,  but the Babe Ruth World Series still hit a home run with with some Quincy businesses.  The city’s largest hotel and many city restaurants got a boost in business from the families and players visiting the city since last Saturday.
