Manchester Little League’s 14-year-old All-Star team has clinched the state championship with an 11-4 win.
The team plays next Saturday against Maine to open the regionals.
With a Thursday night 2-1 win against West Deptford, Manchester was poised to face the winner of Friday night's Par-Troy/West Deptford game for the title, according to team parent Bob Migliaccio.
The team was the first in the township’s 50-year baseball history to play for the title in the state tournament. The championship game is scheduled for Saturday night.
If Manchester was to win the four-team state tournament, they were to advance to the East Regionals in Freehold, according to a WOBM report. The next stop after that would be the Junior League World Series in Taylor, Michigan.
The complete roster of Manchester players is available on the WOMB report.Find out what's happening in Manchesterwith free, real-time updates from Patch.
