BRISTOL, Conn. (WBZ NewsRadio) — Canton Little League is one step closer to a berth in the Little League World Series in Williamsport, Pennsylvania.
As the Massachusetts representatives in the New England Regional, Canton defeated Vermont 12-0 on Saturday morning in Bristol, Connecticut.
Canton's starting pitcher Nathan Chabot struck out 15 batters and only allowed one hit throughout the game's six innings.
