The Nottingham 10 Year Old All Stars enjoyed a fantastic summer, playing in the State Championship game on August 8th and finishing with a 14-3 record.

In District 12 play, great defense and good pitching propelled the Nottingham 10's to beat East Windsor 7-4 and Robbinsville 9-6, and in the Final defeated West Windsor 4-2, securing Nottingham Little League’s 42nd District Title.

Next came the NJ Section 3 Tournament, with competition from very good teams from Toms River and Colts Neck. In Game 1, Nottingham staged an incredible two-out comeback in the last inning to beat Colts Neck 7-6. The following day the Toms River Nationals were defeated 7-6. In the Finals, Toms River eked out a 3-1 win, forcing a final showdown the next day. A determined Nottingham squad responded by coming out pounding the ball, making no errors and one-hit pitching to defeat Toms River 13-0 in 4 innings, capturing the League's 16th Sectional Title.

The State Final Four was hosted by Winslow Township LL, and Nottingham played five consecutive evenings. Nottingham took Game 1, defeating Sparta 15-0. In their only subpar game of the summer, the boys lost to a tough and opportunistic Erial on Tuesday 11-1. After knocking out Sparta 9-4 on Wednesday, Nottingham was faced with having to defeat Erial twice. On Thursday Nottingham made its best case as to why it really is the best team in the State of New Jersey, crushing Erial 14-0. In the Friday final showdown, Nottingham outhit Erial, but could not hold the lead, losing 8-6. What a great run they had!
