The Levittown Slammers of Long Island lost 1-0 yesterday to Wilson County (N.C) in Lamar, Colo., hurting their chances to reach the finals of the girls softball 16-and-under Babe Ruth World Series.

The Slammers, who managed just one hit in seven innings, suffered their first loss in the double-elimination tournament after winning a pair of games on Wednesday. The team can still advance to the championship game with a victory tonight against the winner of the losers’ bracket.
