“Northfield, New Jersey's Little League baseball team, a little while back, won their second straight District 16 Little League baseball title. Their pitcher, Finn Haines, who was selected to compete in the Little League Derby in Atlanta, pitched their final two innings to clinch the win. Brady Arena, their leadoff hitter, scored their winning run, ensuring that Northfield beat Ocean City 3-2. The District 16 baseball teams are made up of 11-and 12-year-olds in Atlantic and Cape May Counties in south Jersey, and winning this title means that Northfield advanced to the Section 4 tournament. When they won, the Northfield team ran a victory lap around the field holding the District 16 championship banner in pride, along with the United States flag. So to all players on the team: Congratulations on your win. You have exciting futures ahead of you. I am sure you have many, many more wins to come. ____________________”
