Norwalk eliminated in 13-year-old Babe Ruth tourney

The Norwalk 13-year-old Babe Ruth team's run through the loser's bracket of the New England Regionals ended Wednesday with a 6-3 loss to Central Maine in the loser's bracket final.

Both of Norwalk's defeats in the tournament came to Central Maine, which will play Cranston, R.I., for the title on Thursday.

Lack of offense hurt Norwalk in both of its setbacks. Last Saturday, it managed only one hit in a 3-2 loss and on Wednesday, it was held to two hits until a brief rally in the seventh fell short.

Still, Norwalk won three games when facing elimination, including a 10-0 victory over Connecticut state champion New Milford on Tuesday.  Norwalk finished 3-2 in the tournament.
