The West Hartford Little League 10U team made history this summer when it became the town’s first Little League team to win the district championship.

Team members were in attendance at Tuesday night’s Town Council meeting.  The team was praised by Mayor Scott Slifka, who also presented a proclamation on behalf of the entire Town Council, honoring the team for its success.
