Bruins were the visitors, so the mercy rule wasn't applied.
Entered the bottom of the third with a 7-0 lead, when, predictably
Natalie Cable imploded. Four walks, seven earned runs.
Out she came, in went Sydney Somerndike. Before she left after 0.1,
Long Beach was ahead 9-7.
Guess who? Taylor Tinsley pitched the remainder. No runs, 4 hits,
4 strike outs.
UCLA scored 6 in the top of the sixth - and 12 (twelve) in the
top of the seventh.
If only someone other than Tinsley could pitch consistently.
More home runs and extra base hits for all of the usual suspects.
The top of the seventh was pure East Fullerton Little League, with
sad eyes on the losers' faces.
