Though it fell just short of the ultimate goal, it was still quite a run for the Glen Allen Athletic Association's 11-year-old Cal Ripken League all-star baseball team.
The team lost to West Raleigh, North Carolina, 5-2, in the Cal Ripken League World Series championship game Aug. 6 in Jensen Beach, Florida, surrendering four runs in the final two innings. Glen Allen had defeated West Raleigh earlier in the tournament and also in the Southeast Regional tournament, but a third victory wasn't to be. Glen Allen went 6-2 overall in the tournament.
In the title game, Landon Allen provided a spark on offense, with two hits and one walk. David Paciocco had a double and an RBI, while Griffin Tharp had a hit and drove in the other run.
Austin Nester pitched four innings and allowed just one hit, but two unearned runs scored as the result of errors.
