CONWAY — The MWV U12 All-Stars are the second best 12-and-under Cal Ripken baseball team in the Granite State. The local nine finished second to a familiar rival, Suncook Valley from Pembroke, on Sunday, in Lancaster, falling 8-5 in the finals, and came oh-so-close to forcing and extra game to decide the championship.

“A lot of the people said it was one of the best games they’ve seen in a while,” Andy Pepin, head coach of MWV, said. “The game went back and forth, no errors, just good baseball.”
