VOLUNTEER STADIUM--The West Side Little League All-Stars were rocked by a hard hitting California squad 9-0 Sunday morning at the Little League World Series in Williamsport. The team from Torrance, California was led by Grant Hays, who came off the bench to hit two towering homers, driving in five runs. Three California pitchers, Xavier Navarro, Isaac Mora, and Brandon Perez combined for a one hit shutout, with Kaleb Harden's first inning leadoff double being the only hit for Hamilton. West Side Coach Ken Coomer says they have been in this position before, losing games in the state and regional tournament, only to rebound through the elimination bracket. West Side will face Louisiana 5pm Monday at Volunteer Stadium. Coomer says Louisiana is a good team, just like all the teams participating in the World Series.
