Photos and words by Caelan Chevrier 

Fairfield American defeated Westport 8-4 Friday night in the District 12s championship game in Trumbull. Westport will have another chance to advance in the double-elimination district title game tomorrow at 11:00 AM.


Despite the loss, fans displayed some of the most passionate and energizing sportsmanship. Mothers wore earrings with their sons' baseball numbers on them. Parents, grandparents, and just those who enjoy the game all cheered in unison after nearly every pitch. From bleacher-wide chants, to the ringing of cowbells, dedication and emotion were found on the side of the field. 


Head Coach Joe Leonard remains confident in his team. “We can beat these guys, there’s no doubt about it.” He noted that the level of talent of his players is exceptionally high, and he is excited to come back today. 


The winner of today’s game will move on to the sectionals tournament, where they will face more opponents eager to seek a spot in the Little League World Series.

Westport’s 11 and 12 year-old players made it to the famous Williamsport Little League World Series in 2013, advancing through the series until the very end. Although a Tokyo, Japan team ultimately claimed victory - they returned home to a parade as local heroes.
