Cranberry will now have to do it the hard way... again.

Battling back from the loser's bracket to snag a championship banner isn't anything new for the Cranberry Little League All-Stars.

In the district tournament they dropped a rough outing to Franklin, only to bounce back to win three in a row, including beating Franklin twice. The win streak catapulted them into the sectional tournament.
​
​Tuesday they dropped a tough one 10-2 ​in the sections to a bulldozing Dubois squad with solid pitching and even more solid hitting.

Cranberry highlights came a bit too little, too late. getting one run in the fourth and another in the sixth before being shut down by a good double play with a few runners in scoring position

Dubois will play Wednesday against the Cambridge Springs/Saegertown who beat Harbor Creek 4-0. Cranberry will play Harbor Creek in the consolation round hoping to stay alive.
Both games will be at 6 p.m. Wednesday in Saegertown.
