RIDGEWOOD – Double-elimination tournaments are designed to give teams that lose a second chance. So far, the definition is meaningless to the Ridgewood Raiders, who defeated all four of their opponents convincingly for their second straight District 4 Little League championship in 10-and-under play.
In order, they topped River Edge, 16-7, Paramus, 7-5, Washington Township, 13-1, and then downed Ramsey, 12-9, on July 2 for the title.
“They were never in trouble,” Ridgewood manager Guy Darienzo said on Tuesday. “They were never in the losers’ bracket, which makes it easier. When you’re in the losers’ bracket, you have more games, and you have to worry about pitch counts. But they kept winning.”
