CONGRATS OCEAN VIEW!! They are amazing!! Its great to have something to root for here in LA, since we won’t be having basketball for a while
Great job by the CA kids. Shows how close our hometown PA kids were to the best.
That was the extent of my support, I was hoping Montana would kick their little butts yesterday but it never happened.
Montana's interstate 29 leagues which also encompasses Idaho was no match for California's 800 +..................
My favorite player of the series was Montana's Connor Kleickenbusch, the little 4'8", 74 lb. second baseman........I loved that little guy!
As a side note, the tournament rules need to be modified and brought on parr with other tournaments which entail double elimination playoffs.
Specifically, Montana was undefeated and had beaten Califiornia thus sending California into the losers bracket.
California then won the losers bracket and only had to beat Montana once to make it to the series championship..........In normal double elimination tournaments, California would have been required to play a second game following Montana's first loss to them and the winner of THAT game would have moved on to the championship............
Oh well, kudos to ESPN and the other networks for their expansion of TV coverage that included regional championships and beyond. That was pure baseball the way it was meant to be played........by kids.
Congratulations California, your kids did good!
