Pawcatuck’s Senior Softball All-Star team will take a sparkling 14-0 record into tonight’s first game in the Senior Little League World Series in Roxana, Del.

Pawcatuck is coming off 2-0 victory against Corry, Pa. in the Eastern Regional championship game in Worcester, Mass. on Thursday.

It was one of the closest games the team has played in All-Star competition.

Pawcatuck has outscored its opponents 117-7 in the 14 games, including nine shutouts. The Seniors are the first Pawcatuck team to play in a Little League World Series since the organization was founded in 1953.

But the last two games have been the toughest. Before beating Pennsylvania on Thursday, Pawcatuck got past Fredonia, N.Y., 4-1, in a classic game that went 11 innings.

Pawcatuck players gathered at the Steak Loft restaurant in Mystic at 4 a.m. Saturday before taking a 7:30 a.m. flight out of Bradley International Airport in Windsor Locks, Conn.

The team arrived in Philadelphia at 12:30 p.m. and took a limousine bus to Delaware.

Pawcatuck manager Phil Borden drove to Delaware Saturday, arriving at 11 a.m. with all of the team’s equipment.

“We just got our East uniforms and all of our equipment has been checked,” Borden said. “The team moms are talking with the housing authority people.”

Players will be staying in two $750,000 houses, according to Borden, chaperoned by a team mom in each house.

“We haven’t seen them (the houses) yet, but we’ve heard they are beautiful. Apparently, they haven’t been lived in yet,” Borden said.

Borden and Pawcatuck coach Ken Tracey will be sharing a house with the West coaches from the Arrowhead Little League in Glendale, Ariz.

Little League officials will bring two meals a day to the houses and the team will eat its third meal at the field.

Team pictures were scheduled for later Saturday on the beach.

“It’s great. The team from Latin America – Puerto Rico – is here already,” Borden said.

Borden is not too concerned about the excitement and atmosphere affecting his team’s play.

“I would say that our group can turn it on or off at any time,” Borden said. “I’m not too worried about that.”

Pawcatuck has relied on solid pitching and defense and timely hitting to reach the World Series. Elysa Parrilla and Aubrey Latham have split the pitching duties in nearly every All-Star game thus far.

Pawcatuck will take on the Laurel Little League from Delaware in the first game tonight at 8. Laurel qualified by winning the district tournament to earn the berth as the host team.

Those expecting an easy game might reconsider that notion. Last season, the host team, the Naticoke, Del. Little League, came within six outs of winning the World Series. Milton, Pa. scored a run in the top of the seventh to win the event.

Laurel also reached the semifinals in 2005 before losing to Latin America.

Pawcatuck will play Windsor, Ontario – the Canadian representative – on Monday at 8 p.m. The team then faces South Bend, Ind. – the Central representative – on Tuesday at 1 p.m.

Pawcatuck is off on Wednesday and returns to action on Thursday at 5:30 p.m. against Maunabo, Puerto Rico, the Latin America representative.

The top two teams will play in semifinal games on Friday with the championship game scheduled for Saturday at 2 p.m. It will be televised by ESPN2.

Games will also be played between the fifth place, fourth place and third place teams in each pool on Friday.

Six teams from the United States and four international representatives have been divided into two pools.

Pool play starts today and concludes on Thursday.

Teams will playing on two fields at the Lower Sussex Little League complex.

Ebbets Field, named for the home of the Brooklyn Dodgers, will be the site of the championship game. Pawcatuck plays it first two games on this field.

Connie Mack Stadium, named for the home of both the Philadelphia Phillies and the old A’s, has undergone recent renovations.

Pawcatuck will play its next two games on that field.
