New Jersey Little League softball coach upset about decision to end state title game: 'Gut-wrenching'

A New Jersey 12U softball team’s hopes of reaching the Little League World Series were dashed last week after a controversial state championship game.

The state championship between Toms River and Hanover Township was suspended due to lightning with Hanover leading 6-4. The game was stopped at the start of the sixth inning because of the weather, but tournament officials initially said the game would be played the next day.

Toms River coach Brad Bossow told the New York Post he believes his team got the short end of the stick.
