Medicine Hat Major Mavs lose national Little League final after long run

The Medicine Hat AAA 12U Major Mavs fell short of making history Thursday after a devastating loss in the Canadian Little League championship against British Columbia.

The Whalley Little League, playing as B.C., beat the Mavs, playing as team Alberta, 10-1 in Kingston, Ont.

The B.C. team will go on to represent Canada at the Little League World Series in Williamsport, Penn.

The final was the only game the Major Mavs lost all tournament, a disheartening conclusion for a previously-unstoppable junior team.
