Blair Little League's winningest postseason run in more than a decade ended Friday in Kearney.
The Majors All-Stars lost a 10-0 elimination game to Hastings Little League, closing out its Nebraska state tournament run with a 1-2 record. The All-Stars won three-straight games during the Northern Area Tournament at home to qualify.
“Tough loss tonight for Blair Majors, but we couldn't be prouder of your incredible journey,” a Blair Little League social media post read. “Congratulations on securing the fourth-place spot! Your hard work and dedication inspire us all. Keep pushing forward! Most postseason victories for Majors since 2009.”
