WESTFIELD - The Westfield Babe Ruth 13U baseball team advanced to the regional finals before ultimately falling during an often rainy 6-5 game against Bethel, Connecticut, at Bullens Field on Tuesday.
Westfield reached the final by defeating Braintree, 9-6, in the semifinal earlier in the day. Due to periodic and sometimes heavy rain and the threat of thunderstorms in the afternoon, both the semifinal and championship game times were moved earlier in the day.
