Instant classics between city and county for the 92nd dream game

After fighting through five straight elimination games to earn a rematch in the Pennsylvania Little League Softball State Championship, Valley’s impressive postseason run came to an end Monday in South Williamsport. Bullskin Township claimed the state title, while Valley finished as one of the top 8-10 softball teams in the Commonwealth.

They’ve battled through the loser’s bracket, won five straight elimination games, and now they’re one win away from a Pennsylvania State Championship. Valley’s 7-4 victory over Bullskin erased an earlier tournament loss and sets the stage for an all-or-nothing championship showdown Monday in South Williamsport.

Strong pitching, timely defense, and a pair of key runs carried Valley Little League to a hard-earned 2-1 victory over Christmas City on Friday afternoon in the Pennsylvania 8-9-10 Little League Softball State Tournament in Williamsport. The win sends Valley into the next round, where they’ll face West Suburban this evening after tournament organizers adjusted the schedule due to the forecast.
