The team from Barrington, R.I., lost to Elizabeth, N.J., 2-0, Tuesday night, a defeat that eliminated the New England champs from the Little League World Series in Williamsport, Pa.

Rhode Island’s best chance came in the fifth inning when it had two runners on and only one out, but couldn’t score. New Jersey scored a pair of runs in the top of the sixth inning on a double, single, and ground out, and held on to secure the win.

New Jersey advances to face Louisiana at 11 a.m. Wednesday.
