Little Falls gave up just two runs Wednesday and swept its way through the playoffs to win the Mudville 14-and-under championship.

Hart shut Herkimer out from there.
Schoff had hit a two-run home run in the win against Mohawk and Sara Reardon had a pair of doubles.
Ilion won Mudville’s 12-and-under crown Saturday.
