BOARDMAN TAKES FIRST WIN IN REGIONALS

WHITESTOWN IN- Boardman took their talents to Indiana this week to represent the whole state of Ohio in the Little League Regionals.  With a trip to the Little League World Series a bracket win away, Boardman opened up the tournament with a 2-0 win over Kentucky.

In a pitcher’s duel between two players who bring nicknames to the circle, it was Boardman’s Emma Davies (AKA The Rocket) who beat Kentucky’s Lacyn Black (AKA The Unit). Davies finished the complete game shut out by forcing a ground ball fielder’s choice to end the game. It was a big moment in the game with Kentucky having the game-tying runs on base.

Emily Swantek and Addie Rudge both collected RBI singles throughout the game as the Boardman offense did just enough to get the win.

With the win Boardman moves on in the bracket to play the winner of Wisconsin vs Illinois. That matchup will take place tomorrow at 11:00AM. Boardman will await the winner and play them  on Wednesday at 7:00.  All games of the regional can be streamed on ESPN+.
