Great Kills beaten
The team that has come back so many times this summer just couldn’t complete a big rally last night.
Down two runs in the top of the sixth, Great Kills American of Staten Island had runners on the corners with no outs, but was unable to come up with a big hit in a 5-3 loss to Keystone (Pa.) in its second game of the Little League Mid-Atlantic regional at Breen Field in Bristol, Conn.
“We were there,” GKA manager Frank Cambria said. “We had the shot.”
Great Kills won its opener Friday night and will meet Newark (Del.), which is 2-0, today at 3 p.m. Great Kills needs at least two wins in pool play to advance to the championship round, which begins Friday.
Paramus, N.J., had better luck in a 13-5 victory over Washington, D.C. Nicholas DeNigris was the winning pitcher and drove in three runs.
