It was a similar story when my Little League baseball team, the Royals, came from being in 4th place, all the way to win the 2008 city championship. I was out injured, but I still joined in on the celebration. We were in the first game of our regionals when we were losing 5-0 in the 5th inning(we play six innings), but this time our luck failed(our luck won us the city championship after we were losing 2-0 in the 4th inning), and we lost, 5-2. That's still okay, we at least won the city.

The Big Field
This is a great book by Mike Lupica. In it, the main character's baseball team makes their city finals. It's almost every kid's dream to play on the "Big Field". It's no different in this book. Will they make it past the regionals and get to play at Roger Dean Stadium in Jupiter, Florida? If so, will they win the best-of-three series that awaits them when they get there? Find out in this action packed book.
