Fairfield National's Little League team is close to reaching the U.S. championship after a 13-1 victory over Sioux Falls, South Dakota. The next game against Las Vegas is scheduled for Wednesday. Coach Brian Palazzolo emphasizes the importance of focus and readiness. He highlights the team's resilience and supportive culture, declaring they are a strong baseball family. Tommy D'Amura, a two-way player, expresses enjoyment in both hitting and fielding. Regardless of the outcome, the team is celebrated as heroes in their hometown, aspiring to win a championship banner.
Every pitch, every play, every inning. We take nothing for granted. We're gonna pump strikes and have the defense be ready to make a play behind our pitcher tonight.
We are a baseball family. Nothing can get in the way. Nothing can break us. Errors will happen, it's Little League. If we can limit those to just a little bit, we're better than most teams.
I prefer hitting, but defense is always fun when you're making the plays and just having a good time in the field.
The team will return to Connecticut as heroes no matter what, but they'd love to add a championship banner to the collection at Tunxis Hill Park.
