After a thriller on Thursday, Friday night's showdown for the District 10 Little League crown did not disappoint.

In a contest that saw five-lead changes, it was Tri-County who prevailed, again bolstered by a big-run-rally in the fifth-inning.

After Tri-County opened the scoring in the top of the first, Utica answered with two in their half to take a 2-1 advantage. After a scoreless second, Tri-County hopped back on top with two runs in the third, before Utica pushed ahead to take a 6-3 lead after three. Utica would add another run in the fourth, up 7-3, before Tri-County offense went wild in the fifth for the second consecutive night.
