Berwick girls win bracket opener, then fall in second game

The Berwick 10U All-Stars opened bracket play with a victory Monday at the Babe Ruth World Series in Jensen Beach, Florida. But the Berwick girls dropped their next game against the tournament’s top seed.
Berwick was scheduled to play the Brookfield Burn of Connecticut in a losers bracket game Tuesday morning.
After splitting four pool play games over the weekend, Berwick opened bracket play with a 6-5 win over Duplin County, North Carolina, on Monday.
That sent Berwick into a contest with Fern Creek Orange of Kentucky, which earned a No. 1 seed by winning all four pool play games without allowing a run.
Fern Creek posted another shutout against Berwick on Monday, winning 9-0.
Bracket play is scheduled to conclude Tuesday, followed by championship day Wednesday.
Berwick reached the World Series by winning Louisiana and regional championships.
