Summary

Portsmouth's All-Star team clinched the New Hampshire state title with a decisive 19-3 victory over Bedford in Game 3 of the finals on August 6, 2026. This marks Portsmouth's first state championship since 2010. The team, led by manager Charley Raizes, will now represent New Hampshire at the Little League Baseball New England Regional in Bristol, Connecticut, starting on Saturday. Portsmouth had previously lost Game 1 but bounced back with strong performances, particularly from pitcher Ryder Raizes who earned a save in Game 2 and secured the win in Game 3 by allowing just four hits. The team aims to advance to the Little League World Series later this month.
