Sox suffer another hard-luck defeat

Despite a valiant effort in the bottom of the 7th, the Cornwall Black Sox suffered a third straight heart-breaking loss at the Senior Little League World Series today, dropping a 5-4 decision to the Philippines

The Sox mounted a late rally in the final inning, loading the bases and scoring four times, but came up short in the comeback.

The loss marked the third nail-biting defeat for the local team that features Alexandria's Leo MacLean who was held hitless in the game, just as many of his teammates were.

With the 0-3 record, the Sox are eliminated from the playoff portion of the event, but still have a game remaining on Thursday morning against South Carolina.
