The A's are in Grosse Pointe Woods-Shores Little League and took the championship for their division this weekend.

A two-part delay Wednesday in game one of their Major League World Series to cap the season led the Grosse Pointe Woods Shores Little League to move the game to Friday. 

The A's won the first game in the series Friday, continuing Saturday at Ghesquiere Park. They won 7 to 2 against the Pirates in the first game, according to Sue Race. 

Their game began Wednesday but weather stopped the competition twice, leading to officials calling it quits for the night and rescheduling for Friday. 

The Pirates quickly evened the score Friday to a 2 - 2 tie, but the A's brought their bats and ultimately took the victory, Race said.

During the second game, the A's were down 7-1 against the Pirates but came back to win the title 9-8, according to Eric Armbruster.
