Fairfield, CT – The Fairfield National Little League team is riding high on an incredible season and is now set to represent Connecticut in the regional tournament in Bristol this weekend. With 133 runs scored, only 7 runs allowed, 126 hits, 30 hits allowed, and an impressive 22 home runs without giving up a single homer, the team has shown nothing short of dominance on the field.
“This is one of the most wonderful experiences you will ever have,” supporters told the team during a send-off speech. “You’ve accomplished so much already, and now it’s time to take that Fairfield jersey to Bristol and make us all proud.”
The team will receive a full police escort tomorrow as they depart for regionals, a tradition that honors their hard work and success. Community pride is at an all-time high as fans, families, and local leaders cheer them on.
“We’ve chased this dream for a long time, and now it’s within reach,” the message continued. “This is bigger than just a game—it’s about teamwork, bonding, and making memories. We always say Fairfield National on three, but today we are CT on three. CT on three—one, two, three… CT!”
With the entire town behind them, Fairfield National heads to Bristol not just to compete, but to continue their dream season and bring home another victory for Connecticut.

Fairfield, Conn., July 15, 2025—The Gerber family has released a statement on First Selectman Bill
Gerber:
“We are heartbroken to share that our beloved father and husband Bill Gerber passed away at Yale New
Haven Hospital at 4:11PM today. After undergoing two brain surgeries within 48 hours, he was
ultimately unable to recover from the numerous complications that ensued in the days that followed. To
say that there is now a gaping hole in our lives is an understatement. We are still trying to come to terms
with everything that has happened these past two and a half weeks. We are grateful to the friends and
family who have helped us during this time as well as the staff at Yale New Haven Hospital, who worked
around the clock to support him and us. We will have a ceremony celebrating his life soon. In the
meantime, please take a moment to remember and celebrate someone who was so selfless and who loved
his friends, family, job and his hometown of almost 30 years so much. Despite the physical issues he was
experiencing as a result of what was determined to be a large, aggressive, malignant brain tumor, he
worked long days and attended evening meetings up until the day before he went into the hospital. The
Town of Fairfield was incredibly lucky to have him as its leader. And our family was beyond blessed.”
—Jessica, John and Gillian Gerber
The Town of Fairfield asks the public to keep the Gerber family in their thoughts and prayers. The Town
leadership and staff extend their deepest condolences to Mr. Gerber’s family, friends and loved ones.
Fairfield has lost a dedicated leader.
