It s been a long time coming for the Westport Babe Ruth Baseball League, but the boys brought home for the league s very first time the Cal Ripken championship.
On Friday night, the stands at the Westport High School upper field were packed with parents and fans who showed up to support the hometown team. Comprised of nine-and-10-year-old players, the 10U team matched up against New Bedford s South End Youth Athletic Association, with Westport earning a 6-2 victory.
Heading into the tournament, Westport was undefeated, but eventually lost the first matchup with New Bedford. Luckily for them, it was a double-elimination, leaving them as the only team to not lose twice. Other teams in the tournament included Somerset, Raynham, Freetown-Lakeville and Fairhaven-Acushnet.
