The Rhode Island Little League State 12U tournament will be played at East Greenwich Little League’s Cragan Field this summer. This 12U State tournament is an important stepping stone to the New England Regionals, held in Bristol, CT and to the ultimate goal, the Little League World Series. Last year’s 12U winner, Coventry Little League, made it through the RI states, the New England Regionals, all the way to South Williamsport, PA and the rest is a boat load of memories for those players, coaches, and families. 
Cragan Field is located off Main St and 4th Ave in East Greenwich. Follow 4th Ave down past Our Lady of Mercy Catholic Church, through a few stops signs, around a bend in the road, and look for the driveway entrance, Reilly Ave. Make a right and follow the driveway up to the baseball field. There is a plenty of parking, a concession stand, batting cages, tons of seating, and a really cool neighborhood baseball park feel. For directions on Google Maps,
