Haddonfield Little League Captures District Crown

The Bulldawgs beat Haddon Township to advance.

Haddonfield's 12-year-old Little League baseball team bounced back from a weekend loss to take two straight games from Haddon Township to grab the District 13 title.

The 19-13 victory propels the little sluggers into sectional playoffs Monday in Hammonton. It's the second year in a row this group has captured a district crown. Last year, as 11 year olds, they won District 13 before falling in the sectionals.

"We're all thrilled and proud of the boys," said Allison Pelose, whose son Brian is an outfielder on the championship team.

The 12-Year-old Bulldawgs will open their Sectional Tournament at 8 p.m. Monday against  the winner of District 3/District 16 game.

All Sectional games will be held at the Hammonton Little League complex at Park Avenue and Sports Drive, Hammonton NJ, 08037.  It's 25 miles, or about 40 minutes away. You can follow the tournament results online at the Section 4, New Jersey Little League website, http://www.eteamz.com/section4nj/.
