Beverly Little League Play Today in Final Four

The Beverly Williamsport All-Stars are in the Massachusetts Little League Final Four.

Beverly earned its spot in the title round by defeating Andover National earlier this month to win the Section 4 championship. The bats carried Beverly, which scored at least six runs in each of its four games in that tourney.

Now, the focus turns to the state championship. Here's how it works:

Four teams play in a round robin-style tournament, each playing the other once. At the end of it, the teams with the top two records advance to the state championship game, scheduled for Sunday, July 31. If two teams are tied, then records in head-to-head competition are used.

The other three teams in the tournament are Wellesley South, Pittsfield American, and Fairhaven/Aschunet. Beverly opens tourney play Thursday at 3:30 p.m., takes on Fairhaven/Aschunet Friday at 4, and has Wellesley South Saturday at 3.

All games are set to be played at Morrison Field in Westwood.

Check back with Patch for scores and updates - and good luck Beverly Williamsport All-Stars!
