Two Vineyard teams are still in competition and on Monday the 11-years-old-and-under team hosted Barnstable in what turned out to be a nail-biter until the very last out. Barnstable eventually won the game 8–7, but because the tournament’s early stages are double-elimination, the under-elevens are still in the competition.

Little League All-Stars Hit the Road

Ivy Ashe
Maybe you’ve seen them when you drive past Veira Park in Oak Bluffs or Nunes Field in Edgartown. You might have heard the metal clinks of their bats connecting with a fast-moving — relatively speaking, Dustin Pedroia would send it right over the fence — pitch, or maybe the booming voices of their coaches calling out plays from across the field.

What you might not have seen or heard, though, are the sounds of actual game play.

In Cubs vs. Athletics, Chicago Namesake Wins Little League

Jim Hickey

It was the kind of early summer afternoon that was made for baseball.

The smell of freshly cut grass blended with that of grilling hots dogs and hamburgers during the Vineyard Little League championships at Veira Park on Saturday, while the dust kicked up by the infielders was quickly cleared away by a swiftly moving ocean breeze.

Underdog Tigers Land Little League Title

Championship Game Held on Saturday at Veira Park

By MAX HART

There was ease in Casey's manner as he stepped into his place;
There was pride in Casey's bearing and a smile lit Casey's face.
And when, responding to the cheers, he lightly doffed his hat,
No stranger in the crowd could doubt ‘twas Casey at the bat.

- From Casey at the Bat
