BANGOR, Maine — The Bangor Little League team came up just short in its quest to make it to the Little League Baseball World Series.
Bangor lost 10-1 to Middleboro, Massachusetts in Thursday's New England regional tournament championship game.
Bangor made it to the championship game after taking down Middleboro (Massachusetts) 10-4 on Monday, but it was Middleboro who came out victorious on Thursday.
The Bangor Daily News reports that Middleboro will advance to the Little League World Series for the first time ever.
If Bangor had won, they would have been the first team from Maine to advance to the Little League Baseball World Series since the 2005 Westbrook team.
While Bangor won't be advancing to the championship, it was with great effort that carried the team as far as they went this season.
Families and fans will be back cheering in the stands next season, watching to see how far the Bangor Little League team can shine.
