Boardman Little League baseball heads to state tournament

The excitement of an extra-inning 6-4 victory over Poland in the Little League district tournament has the Boardman 11-12 baseball team motivated for the state tournament that begins Saturday in Elyria’s Vic Janowicz Memorial Park.

“It was just a blast, a heckuva ride,” said first baseman Gavin Dill of district success. “It would be amazing if we could somehow get [to Williamsport]. That would be spectacular.”

Center fielder Devon Curd, who scored the winning run against Poland, called playing in the Williamsport age bracket “a once in a lifetime chance.”
