Bristol Post 2 dug itself too deep an early hole and lost its American Legion Northeast Regional opener to Cumberland, R.I., by a score of 10-7 on Wednesday night at Muzzy Field.
Bristol must beat Brattleboro, Vt., in the second game of the morning doubleheader today to avoid elimination. The first game of the doubleheader is at 9:30.
