BRISTOL, Conn. -

Nolan Kessinger and Connor Henderson led off the first inning with home runs to get the Southboro Little Leaguers on top early, and pitcher Matt Trehub pitched spectacularly to give the team its first win at Breen Field, a 6-3 victory over Shelburne, Vt.

It was quite different from Friday's game. Southboro gave up six runs to Maine, before scoring four in an opening round loss.

After returning from Norwood on Sunday, the newly crowned state champion Southboro Little League team was greeted with a victory celebration at the Woodward School.

Southboro selectman John Rooney was there to congratulate the team with a few kind words. The House of Pizza took care of the hungry players by donating a bunch of pizzas. And there were a number of local families who came down to acknowledge the team's accomplishments and join the celebration.

LOWELL (FOX 25 / MyFoxBoston.com) - Graduation has come and gone, but for some seniors their high school days not quite over. On Saturday, the Division I, II and III state finals in high school baseball and softball were played. See Video Boadcast Here.

High School Friday carried over into Saturday to cover all the games for boys and girls at LeLacheur Park in Lowell.

FOX25 was at the games and has all the highlights as well as hundreds of photos from the game.

It's very easy to write about prospects that the whole world knows about. From a scouting perspective-and I've seen said this before-it is far more exciting to write about a "discovery."

One discovery that I think I made over the summer was Nate Freiman, a first baseman playing for the Orleans Cardinals. You probably have heard little to nothing about Nate as a draft prospect mainly because he's not flashy, can look awkward, doesn't play for one of the top baseball programs and doesn't have draft history under his belt.

Tallahassee, Fla. - Junior right-hander Jeff Tardiff (Framingham, Mass./Framingham) tossed four scoreless innings as the Le Moyne College baseball team held off fourth-ranked Florida State, 3-1, in the completion of Friday night's suspended game at Mike Martin Field at Dick Howser Stadium. The game was series opener was suspended on Friday night after five innings due to poor field conditions.

After three scoreless innings on Friday night, the Dolphins struck for three runs on four hits in the top of the fourth inning. Freshman second baseman Zach Wiley (Toluca Woods, Calif./Crespi) led off the frame with a single to center off former high school teammate Sean Gilmartin. Following a wild pitch that moved him to second, Wiley advanced to third on a sac bunt by sophomore right fielder Brett Botsford (Baldwinsville, N.Y./C.W. Baker). Sophomore shortstop Matt Marra (Brewerton, N.Y./Central Square) then singled to right field to drive in Wiley. Senior left fielder Chris Edmondson (Johnson City, N.Y./Johnson City) gave the Dolphins a 3-0 lead by blasting the first pitch of his at-bat over the fence in left field for his 10th home run of the season.

The Seminoles got on the board with one run on two hits in the bottom of the fifth inning. Preseason First Team All-American Tyler Holt led off with a single down the right field line. Two batters later, preseason All-American Mike McGee doubled off the wall in center field to drive in Holt. Junior southpaw Cory Nelson (Manlius, N.Y./Fayetteville-Manlius) got out of the inning by inducing a pair of foul outs.

When play resumed on Saturday, Wiley and Botsford singled off new Seminoles pitcher Geoff Parker. After Wiley was thrown out trying to steal third, Marra walked, but was picked off first, allowing Botsford to move to third. Parker got out of the jam by inducing a fly out.

The Seminoles advanced a runner to third base in the sixth inning and loaded the bases in the seventh inning, but Tardiff was able to keep Florida State off the scoreboard.

Nelson picked up his second win of the year after scattering seven hits over five innings, while striking out one batter. Tardiff allowed two hits and struck out one batter over the final four innings to earn his first save of the season. Gilmartin, a preseason All-American and Tardiff's teammate with the NECBL's North Shore Navigators last summer, struck out five batters in dropping his fourth game of the year, while yielding three runs on five hits. Wiley finished the game with three of Le Moyne's eight hits.

Le Moyne (25-23), which improved to 3-4 against ranked opponents this year, plays the second game of the series with the Seminoles on Saturday at 5:00 p.m.
