MAYOR VINCENT C. GRAY HONORS LITTLE LEAGUE CHAMPIONS REPRESENTING DISTRICT IN PLAYOFFS
Mayor Gray presented the Northwest Little League All Stars with a Certificate of Achievement. The team coaches are Matt Donnellan and Jim Plantholt, and the manager is Andy Seto. The league president is Paul Donnellan. The players are George Anninos, Jack Bailey, Matthew Dulaney, Henry Furlong, Spenser Hyun, Owen Isaacs, Sydney Love-Baker, Ty Love-Baker, Ethan Roth, Ben Schwartz, Alex Snape, Luke Wallis and Max Whisnant.
The team's road to the regional playoffs, and the Mayor's press conference, included a thrilling comeback in the final inning of their game against Capitol City. Down two and with only one strike left, the Northwest team pulled together 5 hits, winning the District's Little League title.
"The whole time, even when we were down to our last strike, we still believed that we could win," said Ethan Roth, who spoke on behalf on the team. "Not just thought we could win, but we actually believed. So, I guess, just a lesson learned."

No intentional walks
No intentional walks are to be issued. Pitcher and catcher may not intentionally walk a batter by having the catcher stand up to receive an intentional ball. It is the league's philosophy that pitchers and batters are to be aggressive and intentional walks are contrary to this philosophy.
