The New Canaan 9-10 year old girls softball all-star team advanced all the way to the Little District Finals this past weekend. The team beat rival Darien two times in pool play, the second of which was a tightly contested pitchers’ duel with New Canaan ultimately persevering 5-4 in six innings. Carolina Welch pitched a complete game and went 3 for 4 in the victory. Darien rallied down 5-0 and scored 2 runs in the 6th to get the game within a run but came up short as New Canaan defense was strong and Welch got the final out via strikeout with runners on second and third. Unity Lee and Paige Davis connected for key hits in the Darien games.
