It came down to Sunday morning to see who would win the division and advance to the semi-finals.

Mansfield came out of the gate quick and routed Wrentham 10-2. The boys won 
their division and advanced to the semi-finals of the tournament were they faced Milton. After trailing Milton most of the game. The boys made an incredible come from behind win. They scored 9 runs in the last 2 innings and won 11-10 to face Wellesley in the championship game. Unfortunately, the boys faced a very good team and could never catch Wellesley. The final was 12-5.

The boys have nothing to hang their heads about. From Saturday to Sunday they showed how much determination they have as a team. This should motivate them this weekend as they play in the Mansfield tournament.
