regional ran from 8\/2\/14 to 8\/8\/14.<\/p>\n<p>Lets see how our local teams fared:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Virginia&#8217;s champ <strong>Tuckahoe American<\/strong> (outside of Richmond): they <a

Carolina 11-5, but <a href=\"http:\/\/www.timesdispatch.com\/sports\/deegan-pitches-one-hitter-as-tuckahoe-rolls\/article_ab6620d6-1cc7-11e4-a721-001a4bcf6878.html\">dominated Tennessee 13-0<\/a> in their second game. \u00a0In the pool final, they got a <a

10-5 to finish 1st in the pool and advance to the Regional Semis. \u00a0In the regional semi (which I just happened to catch on ESPN2) they had a pretty amazing 6-run come-back in the final inning to get a walk-off win (Georgia just flat ran out of pitchers and their guys were just lobbing in the ball in the inning) to get a re-match with Tennessee in the regional final. \u00a0Despite beating them handily earlier in the tournament, Richmond couldn&#8217;t repeat the feat, fell apart in the 5th and\u00a0<a

Williamsport on the line.<\/li>\n<li>Maryland&#8217;s champ <strong>West Salisbury<\/strong> got <a href=\"http:\/\/www.unpage.org\/midatlantic\/mar-dir2014.htm\">pummeled in its first two games<\/a> in the mid-Atlantic regional, but then squeaked out a win over New York in the 3rd pool play game. \u00a0But they lost their last pool play game and finished 5th of 6 regional teams.<\/li>\n<li>DC&#8217;s champ <strong>Northwest Washington<\/strong> had a similar experience to West Salisbury, losing its first three regional games (one by slaughter rule) and leaving them eliminated before pool play was completed. \u00a0They went winless and finished last in pool play.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The mid-Atlantic regional got some <a

Roncin<\/strong> on the New Jersey champs Toms River, and then even more press when 13-yr old\u00a0<strong>Mo&#8217;Ne Davis<\/strong> <a
