Years later, Little League World Series still special to Lincoln stars

Lincoln’s Little League program is marking 25 years since its first trip to the Little League World Series, an anniversary tied to memories that former players say outlast game results. The Rhode Island team went winless in 2001 but returned to the international stage in 2004. This weekend, Lincoln heads to the Metro Regional in Connecticut, with Kevin Greene set to manage in Bristol. Greene is the stepson of former Lincoln manager and assistant coach Randy Hien, who led the 2004 trip after working under Lou Abraham in 2001. Lincoln, described as “our claim to fame,” won eight state titles between 1999 and 2013.
