A picture perfect late spring day at beautiful LVLL was the setting for a classic game between the Long Beach Little League Major Padres and the LVLL Major Dodgers. Emotions ran high and the play was tight in a game that "we've all been waiting for." From the first batter, it was clear that the Dodgers or Padres were not intimidated. The Dodgers scored a run on three hits in the first inning. LB Padres scored three in their half of the first with the help of three Mondesi Blanchard walks and a crucial throwing error.
Mondesi settled down after that and set down the next 12 out of 13 Padres, striking out 10 of them. Meanwhile the Dodgers continued to hit away putting some pressure on the Padres' defense, scoring 1 in the 2nd inning, 3 in the 3rd, and Josh Fischer clouted a colossal jack deep to left center to make the score 6-3, Dodgers.
And then, the sixth inning came, and some wackiness ensued. The first batter reached on catcher's interference of all things, and Mondesi retired LB's big slugger for the first out - Jack Williford reached on fielder's choice. Nate Polar entered, gave up a single to right field. With 2 men on, Mark Davis stepped up and drove a bomb to left center that hit the top of the fence and barely stayed in the park as it bounced back in the field - making the score 6-5.
This was followed by a walk, a pop out, two passed balls by the catcher getting runners on 2nd and 3rd. The Padres kept battling hard as they set the stage for Big Brock who delivered the goods with 2 outs and 2 Strikes in the bottom of the 6th. Brock delivered the biggest hit of the year as he flared a single to right field scoring the 2 Padre runners to cap off a 4 run 6th inning for a 7-6 win showing the never-say-die attitude that the boys have shown all season long!

WHAT A GAME!!!!
