The game is on. The Mid-Atlantic Regional champions used the same old script — brilliant pitching from Angelo Navetta, big power from Nick Pucciarelli and consistent hitting up and down the lineup — in a 10-2 runaway win Friday over Northwest Regional champion Mercer Island from Washington state.
Little League
The kids from South Shore National make their move on the Little League World Series. Some 12-year-olds can show the effects of playing on the big stage.
From Silve said that,
It was a scoreless game for two innings, but then SSN put together one of its trademark big innings, although this one started with an error.
Joe Ruggirello reached on an error to start the top of the third and Navetta followed by smoking a ball to right field that was hit so hard, shallow-playing Northwest right-fielder Brandon Lawler threw Navetta out at first. Ruggirello, though, moved to second on the play and scored on James Morisano’s RBI single.
Then came Pucciarelli, who had seven homers in SSN’s 18 games heading into yesterday.
Pucciarelli drilled a ball way over the right-centerfield fence to put SSN on top 3-0.
Vincent Quinn, who is expected to start today’s game, came on to get the final two outs, both strikeouts, but allowed a runner from third to score on a wild pitch.
