Just sayin' If any Caribbean team was going to be dominate in the LLWS I would have thought that it would 'e been a team from The Dominican Republic.
Hamilton West Side falls to Japan in LLWS third-place game | Recap
Hamilton West Side's amazing World Series run was bookended by heartbreak.
Ohio fell to Japan, 3-2, in the Little League World Series Third-Place Game on Aug. 30. Ohio had pitched a shutout through five innings, but Japan put up three runs in the bottom of the sixth. The game ended as an Ayumu Hasegawa bunt turned into a walk-off single.
Hamilton's ace pitcher Boone Treadway had five dominant innings against Japan. He pitched 5.1 shutout innings, striking out five before hitting the pitch limit. Offensively, Hamilton took control of the game first. Though Japan held West Side scoreless for three innings, the dam broke in the fourth. Xander Kinkade delivered a well-placed ball in right field for a two RBI double, scoring both Josiah Infante and Bob Frazier.
Japan's bats came alive in the final frame. The International runners-up had only recorded three hits in the first five innings, but secured four in the bottom of the sixth to win the game.
West Side's long journey began over a month prior at the Ohio state tournament. Hamilton won its record 26th state title on July 24th, defeating Canfield 4-3. The champions of Ohio then steamrolled through the Great Lakes Regional Tournament, winning the tournament on Aug. 12 after racking up a 38-8 margin of victory in four games. The championship granted West Side its sixth trip to the Little League World Series, a world record.
