LITTLE LEAGUERS RETURN HOME

HAMILTON--Hamilton's West Side Little League All-Stars, runners-up of the Little League World Series, arrived in Hamilton Monday, and were greeted by friends, family, and fans alike. The team and their families gathered at Garfield Middle School for photos and interviews with local media before climbing in their cars and heading over to the West Side Little League complex on Eaton Avenue under a police escort provided by Butler County Sheriff Richard Jones. Fans cheered when the boys arrived at the ballfields, hopped out of their cars, and started signing autographs for younger kids. The City of Hamilton is planning an official welcome home celebration Thursday, beginning with a parade from West Side Little League to Marcum Park, where a short program will be held. The parade gets underway at 7:00pm.

Vogel Pitches Gem As West Siders Avoid Late Rally, Advance

WILLIAMSPORT, PA- JJ Vogel threw another brilliant game on the mound as the West Side Little League All-Stars advanced with a 4-3 win over New Hampshire at Volunteer Stadium Wednesday. Vogel went five innings, giving up one hit and striking out 11. JJ gave up a double and a walk before being removed in the 6th inning because he had hit the 85 pitch count limit. Kaleb Harden came in and saw his first pitch leave the yard as New Hampshire's Calen Lucier clobbered a three run homer to make it 4-3. Chance Retherford made a spectacular play in right field for the first out of the inning, and Harden struck out the next batter before Tyler Chauvette reached on a base hit to left field. With the potential tying run on second, and winning run at the plate, Harden struck out the next batter to give Hamilton another landmark win. Harden also had two hits and drove in a run for Hamilton. Chance Retherford also had two hits, including a double, and an RBI single in the top of the 3rd inning. Krew Brown also had two hits and an RBI. West Side will meet California again in an elimination bracket game Thursday 7:00pm at Howard J. Lamade Stadium on ESPN. California fell to South Dakota 1-0 Wednesday. The West Siders are hoping to avenge Sunday's 9-0 loss to the team from L.A. County. The winner of Thursday's game will go on to play South Dakota Saturday in the Tom Seaver Bracket finals. The winner of that game will meet the Hank Aaron Bracket winners for the World Series title Sunday on ABC.

Hamilton Falls To California At Williamsport

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.
