Under State Police and Worcester Police escort the twelve and under Jesse Burkett Little League Softball team is bringing their state championship to Connecticut for the New England Regional Tournament. Burkett won yet another state championship after defeating Peabody 11-4. The win earned Burkett a spot in the Little League Softball regional tournament in Bristol, CT where they will face Maine at 4:00pm on Saturday.

Burkett President Chad Dawkins said the team and parents are excited to continue the program's winning tradition, "Oh it's awesome man. Next year is the 25th anniversary of the Little League World Series team and softball has kind of tken the reigns over the past couple of years since I became President and before that it was just state title after state title. It's just, you know, credit to the coaches, the players, they do a great job."
