Hopkinton Wins District 11 Championship!

Hopkinton Wins District 11 Championship!

by Mike Scire, President HLL

Thursday, July 12, 2012
In an amazing come from behind win on Thursday night being down by 4 in the top of the 6th, Hopkinton beat favored Westwood in a shootout that went into extra innings with the winner advancing to the District 11 Championship on Friday.  After giving up a grand slam in a game that was tied 2-2 heading into the bottom of the fifth, Hopkinton overcame the impossible.  With one out, they put up 4 runs in the top of the 6th and then one in the top of the 7th to win their Pool Championship.  Hopkinton was heading to the District Championship for the first time since 2007.  No team in Hopkinton Little League history has ever won the District Title.

Friday, July 13, 2012
Some may argue that playing a championship game on Friday, July 13th is nothing short of bad luck. Some may also argue that one of your starting pitchers being hit by a fast ball the night before and breaking his shoulder bone added to that superstition.  Hopkinton was heading straight into the District 11 championship game facing Canton, another top seed team.  Different night, different team, same story.  With Canton up 5-1 going into the top of the 6th with one out (sound familiar?), the odds were stacked against Hopkinton.  The chances to come from behind being down by 4 with one out in the top of the 6th two nights in a row were next to impossible.  Vegas wouldn't touch those odds.  Slowly, Hopkinton chipped away.  5-2.  5-3.  5-4.  5-5.  6-5.  7-5.  YES.  They beat the odds and put up 6 runs in the top of the sixth.  With one out in the bottom of the 6th, Canton smashed a long home run to deep right center bridging the gap to 1, but Hopkinton never let up.  They played flawless defense the rest of the game to get two more outs and became for the first time ever "MASSACHUSETTS DISTRICT 11 CHAMPIONS".
