Massapequa, a team from Long Island, is one game away from reaching the Little League World Series after a dominant victory. This win marks their second consecutive blowout win, making a strong statement about their determination to compete and win at the World Series. Coach Jonathan Henchy expressed his team's focus and excitement, emphasizing that this is just part of their journey towards their ultimate goal.
“It certainly makes a statement and, our ultimate goal is obviously to make it to the Little League World Series and compete and win there,” Massapequa coach Jonathan Henchy told The Post by phone. “This is just part of that process, so it’s obviously really good, but the boys are locked in.”Massapequa had scored five runs in the opening inning before East Hanover had even recorded an out.
The victory advances Massapequa to the regional final at 7 p.m. Friday and will pit them against the winner of East Hanover and Smithfield . The New York State champs are a win away from their second consecutive trip to the Little League World Series in Williamsport, Pa. However, with an entirely new roster and coaching staff, they aren’t looking at it like they could be headed back to the Little League World Series.
“We sort of don’t have that taste of being there,” Henchy said. “So our motto is one game at a time, one step at a time. … The fact that there are no returning players keeps it fresh for these kids and they’re just focused on the game on Friday. Let’s get the win and hopefully, we make a little bit of a run in the World Series.”
