Five Feet Giants upend Brady’s Friends
-- Mike Sciacca
The Five Feet Giants lived up to their name by upending Brady’s
Friends, the first place team in the AA Division, 4-3, in Laguna Beach
Little League action.
Five Feet got the win in dramatic fashion.
In the bottom of the sixth inning, Tylan Kang was hit by a pitch,
stole second and was brought home on Mac Thornton’s game-winning single.
The Giants had taken a 3-2 advantage through the five innings behind
hits by Brenden Ferguson and Bradley Barnes, and the defense of first
baseman Colin Ceithaml.
But Brady’s Friends tied the game at 3-3 in the top of the sixth when
Rex Strombotne hit a solo home run.
That would be the final run of the game, though, for Brady’s Friends
as Five Feet closing pitcher Zack LeBon shut them down the rest of the
inning.
LeBon followed Jack Pillsbury and Robbie McInerny on the mound.
Strombotne, Morgan Curry and Tyler Kesler saw pitching action for
Brady’s Friends.
