BOX SCORE
After each team scored a run in the first, Hudson, Mass. — the Mass. runner-up — scored twice in the second inning. Portsmouth made it 3-2 when Tim Avery singled home Miles Pratt in the fifth
Portsmouth’s other run came when Jake Carlisle singled to score Elliot Miles in the first.
Bailey Wright singled to open the seventh and Miles Pratt followed with a sacrifice bunt. Walks to Matt Minckler (intentional) and Avery loaded the bases, but Portsmouth failed to hit the ball out of the infield after that.
Portsmouth (1-1) will face West Hartford, Conn. (1-1) Friday morning (9:30). The loser of that game will be eliminated.
