| 20th August, 2005 - 11:05 pm | ESPN - Kalen Pimentel tied a Little League World Series record for a regulation, six-inning game with 18 strikeouts to lead Rancho Bueno Vista of Vista, Calif., to a 7-2 victory over Owensboro (Ky.) Southern in the Little League World Series on Saturday.
"It took me a couple of innings to get adjusted and I started to get in a groove about the fourth inning," Pimentel said. "My fastball and curve were really working well."
The feat was last accomplished in 1979 by Chao-An Chen of the Pu-Tzu Town team from Taiwan.
Pimentel's pitching highlighted the busiest day Saturday of the 10-day tournament -- six games in two stadiums all scheduled to start within a nine-hour span. [READ] |
