For the first time that anyone can remember, a Concord-based softball team has brought home a national championship.

The Champions are 13 and 14 year old girls.

On Sunday, they beat top-ranked Maryland 8-to-0 to win the Babe Ruth U-14 National Invitational Tournament in Sparta, New Jersey.

And as Coach Harry Brechtel (brek-TEL) tells NHPR's Mark Bevis,
the experience was awesome.
