Don't know if anyone saw the game tonight against CA... Pearland won 9-7 in extra innings. They hit two home runs to win after falling behind by one run in the eighth inning. Exciting stuff...

Gottfried and Garcia - nice job shutting down the CA hitters.

They play Saturday at 2:30 against PA, who beat them once already. That will be for the U.S. championship. It's going to be a challenge, but they can do it.

That was awesome. It is a shame those 12 year olds are still playing a game at 11:30pm at night though.

On a school night too.

School night? Not exactly... We will call it a fringe benefit of advancing thru the tourney.

Throw those irresponsible parents to jail

Amazing the talent that come out of Pearland. This is like their 3rd time in the last 10 years.

BTW, last night game was one of the best ever.

Come from behind twice and walk off homer to win it. Just amazing.

I could take this thread in a whole different direction on that comment - but I won't.

----------------------------

One thing I didn't want to say last night is that the players bailed out the coach - because the game should have been over in the regulation sixth inning. The announcers talked about it a little bit at the time when it happened - and you could see the coach in distress when we knew what he did in trying to be aggressive and getting the hitter to third base. The way it played out, they would have gotten at least one run in their half of the sixth inning.

But in defense of the coach, they have been super aggressive on the base paths the whole tournament - so if you are going to go down, go down swinging. But if they had lost - he would have been feeling that big time.

However - the fact that they had to go two extra innings wiped out one of their good pitchers from pitching on Saturday.

Great finish!

Agree the coach made a bad decision, with no outs, to try for third.

I agree, they would have won the game earlier if I remember correctly had they just took the double.

I have to say the cut off guy's throw to 3rd was a laser though

Don't forget it is on ABC at 2:30pm today.

Pearland FTW.
