CONWAY — Two error-plagued innings proved to be the ultimate undoing for the MWV U12 All-Stars in the Cal Ripken Baseball State Tournament in Barrington. The All-Stars went 1-2 in the tournament but proved they belong on the same diamond with any of the other seven teams that qualified.
After opening the tournament with a thrilling 1-0 win over hosts Barrington last Tuesday, MWV advanced in the winner’s bracket to also unbeaten Lebanon on Thursday night. Lebanon had rallied from a 6-3 deficit in the fifth inning to beat Farmington 7-6 in opening round action on Tuesday. The hometown nine had one bad inning, giving up seven unearned runs in the second inning, which led to a 7-4 loss to Lebanon, which went on to win the tournament.
