The is Little League Baseball – LF Dancing and Jerkin’

Teni Sow | August 25, 2011 | 0 Comments

Fromm, a pitcher, returned to the mound in the bottom of the ninth and finished off the game with two strikeouts and a groundout.

The bad back that’s been bothering the 13-year-old Fromm didn’t seem to affect him on the mound. He fanned 10 in relief.

Evan Lasseter scored the go-ahead run on a passed ball with Fromm at bat before Fromm’s shot off a 2-1 pitch.

Kentucky chipped away at Georgia’s early 5-2 lead, tying the game at five in the fifth after Grant Larimore scored on an error. Travis Faith and Griffin McLarty homered for Kentucky.

The nightcap turned into a central Pennsylvania party after the boys from Clinton County took control with a three-run first in a 10-0 blowout of Lafayette, La. The blue-clad Pennsylvania players from the Keystone Little League live just about 30 miles away from South Williamsport.

Another raucous, partisan crowd cheered their every move under the Lamade Stadium lights. Brandon Miller led off the bottom of the first with a homer to right to start the rout, and the squad nicknamed the “Big Blue Machine” tacked on seven more runs in the second, more than enough support for starter Landon Breon.

Miller came on in relief to get the last two outs, and he and Breon combined on a no-hitter. The game ended after Louisiana hit in the top of the fourth due to Little League’s 10-run rule.

“Keystone! Keystone,” roared the Pennsylvania fans after center fielder Tyler McCloskey caught the last out. Pennsylvania will play Georgia on Tuesday night.

•Canada 5, Taiwan 3: Yi An Pan scattered nine hits over five innings and added a solo homer in the sixth to lead Langley, British Columbia, to a win Monday over Kaoshiung, Taiwan, to advance at the Little League World Series.

Langley became the first Canadian team to defeat a team from Taiwan in the World Series after 16 straight losses.

With the game tied, Connor McCreath scored the go-ahead run in the fourth after singling. McCreath was sacrificed to second and later came around to score on an error.

Taiwan had two chances to tie late but had a runner called out in the fourth for sliding head first into home, against Little League rules. Pan tagged a runner out at home to end the bottom of the fifth.

•Aruba 5, South Dakota 0: Gillian Wernet struck out 12 in a four-hit shutout as both teams ended their Little League run after being eliminated earlier in the weekend from title contention.

Aruba’s ace also had a nice day at the plate, going 2 for 3 with a run. Brett Beyer had two hits to lead South Dakota.

The Midwest region champs will still remember their postseason run for a long time. They’ve become Little League social media celebrities, too.

“I have a lot of Facebook requests,” first baseman Zach Solano said, “from people I don’t even know.”

•Japan 13, Saudi Arabia 4: Japan broke open a tight game with an eight-run sixth inning, setting up a matchup with Canada on Tuesday. With Japan clinging to a one-run lead, Sotaro Yoshida hit a solo homer with one out to start the scoring in the sixth. Mitsuhiro Uchida, Ken Igeta and Iwamoto each added RBI hits in the inning.

Japan manager Akihiro Suzuki said his team may have still been thinking about the tough one-run loss to Mexico on Sunday.

“We had a meeting after last game about getting back to playing our kind of baseball,” Suzuki said through translator Masato Hori. “Our minds were not in the game early on because of the loss last night. We were lucky to bounce back.”

Saudi Arabia rallied from a 3-0 deficit with four runs in the bottom of the second to take the lead. Brandon Carswell and Jordan Hajazin each had RBI doubles in the inning.
