**UPDATE**

After a terrific run, the Cumberland American All-Star Little League team fell one run short to Chicago (8-7) in last night’s game. Viewers were kept on the edge of their seat until the last at bat. However, what Cumberland lacked in runs was made up for in spirit, pride and sportsmanship thanks to a moving  post-game speech given by Cumberland Coach, Dave Belisle.
