Hills’ historic run at the Junior League World Series has come to an end, falling 9-0 to Latin America in Taylor, Michigan this morning.
Latin America scored a pair of runs early, before their bats came alive through the middle innings. Those big bats threatened to blow the score out for Latin America, however a strong relief outing from Andrew Martin ensured the game continued.
Martin only allowed two baserunners in an impressive 2.2 innings. Australia struggled to string multiple hits together against an outstanding Latin American pitcher, with Riley Watson and Clayton Campbell each picking up a single.
As Latin America began another rally in the fifth inning, an inning ending double play turned by Clayton Campbell kept the strong Latin American lineup at bay.
As Lianna Davidson grounded out to end the ballgame, Hills can hold their heads high as history makers on the Junior League World Series stage.
