All The Scorebooks and Team Stats are Now PostedAnd now we can tell you all that we've fixed the scoring issue with the pitchers - A starter can now (since 2007) get a win after completing 4 innings of 7. All of the pitching records should now be correct.
It took a little more time that we'd like, but a medical problem, and catching up with "regular life" delayed the posting of all of the game scorebooks until this week.
However, Individual Team Statistics are now up on the Team Roster pages - its the PDF file under the Team Picture.
And All the Scorebooks are up on the site also!
AND, we fixed the pitching on Game 16 and District III's stats too....

From the World Series Director, Martin DonovanNow that the 2010 Senior Softball is over I want to thank each and everyone of you who put so much time and energy into making this Series a big success.
Those of you who were there 24/7 you deserve a big pat on the back. The local leagues that participated in the Series you did a great job.
Congratulations to Georgetown and Lower Sussex for winning the District 3 Incentive Program.
The Lower Sussex Grounds Crew were outstanding. The number of hours that they put in the fields were unbelievable even though they almost caused Nick to have a stroke when they painted the grass Saturday morning. The fields look great on TV. [ You can see how good they looked on the final game here ]
This year more coaches, team mothers and parents thanked me for the great time they had in Delaware. I think that tells you how successful this years series was.
Thanks again to EVERYONE who helps

Last Inning Heroics Wins the Championship.It was a game with only 2 earned runs, that was finally won on a strikeout with one runner on base.
Yes, quite a game, with two top pitchers, Henessy Soto and Vittoria Adams matching outs until the final inning.
In the final analysis, Southwest's Henessy Soto won the pitching battle, allowing just 1 run, and striking out 9 despite walking 3 batters, and hitting 3 more.
And East just couldn't hit Soto when it counted, especially with runners in scoring position. Taylor Corretjer and Samantha Wangenstein both doubled, but only Corretjer scored thanks to Brianna Rivera's RBI single. That was the only run East could bring across the plate.
All in all, it was a true Softball Championship. Great Pitching, good base running and some amazing defensive plays (the Double Play in the top of the 1st for starters).
After the game, Asia-Pacific was awarded the Sportsmanship award voted by the Umpires. The folks from Guam District 1 should be proud of their team!
So it's "Well done" to all 10 teams, this year for the first time in Roxana, every team won a game during the Pool competition.
You are all champions but Southwest's Northside Suburban Little League wins their 1st World Series Championship in Roxana. Thanks to all, and especially to the parents.
Without them, we wouldn't have Little League!

Its NY vs Southwest in the FinalUSA East faced off against Latin America this evening, the prize was an appearance on TV Saturday and a chance to win the 2010 Little league Senior Softball World Series. This time the team from Haverstraw Little League New York was up to the challenge and and defeated the ASOFEM Little League girls, 5-2, holding off a bases loaded situation at the end of the game.
The East's opponent was decided in the game between Southwest, Northside Suburban Little League of San Antonio, Texas, and Central, District 11 of South Bend, Indiana, where Central never seemed to get on track. After walking the first 2 batters, the next two reached on errors, and all 4 scored unearned runs.
