Fairfield American Little League Team Storms Past Monroe, Into District II Title Game

The Fairfield American Little League team advanced to the District II championship game with a bang, defeating Monroe 14-4 Thursday night at Unity Park in Trumbull.

Fairfield American, which improved to 6-0 with the mercy-rule victory (the game was stopped after 3 1/2 innings) will play in the title game Saturday at 4 p.m. against the winner of Westport/Monroe, who will face off today. The championship game will also be played at Unity Park.

Connor O'Neil had five RBIs to lead Fairfield American, while Vince Camera added a home run.

Monroe (4-2) actually led 4-0 heading into the bottom of the second before Fairfield American erupted for 12 runs.

"These guys were nervous, this was a big game for them," Fairfield American head coach Mike Steed told Mary Albl of the New Haven Register/GameTimeCT.com. "Monroe is an excellent team. We knew if we could hit today, we knew we'd have a chance to beat them. These guys did a fantastic job in the second inning."
