“This Milton team showed a lot of toughness after losing the first game,” said manager Stu Madden. “They really gained confidence and belief in each other through the three win-or-go-home wins we had. The support from the community was awesome, and I had a blast getting to coach these boys. I hope they had as much fun as the coaches did.”
