South Williamsport, Pa. — Oscar Noguera scored from third on a throwing error, and Reynosa, Mexico, beat Vancouver, British Columbia, 2-1 in seven innings Saturday at the Little League World Series.
With runners on second and third and one out, Mario Cardenas bunted back to pitcher Anthony Cusati, who fielded the ball cleanly but threw to first with nobody covering. The throw bounced into foul territory, allowing Noguera to score easily and sending Mexico's fans into hysterics.
The game went to extra innings after Canada escaped a bases-loaded jam in the sixth with a double play.
Cusati's homer to center gave Canada a 1-0 lead in the second, and Jorge Maldonado spoiled Ryan Matsuda's shutout bid with an RBI double in the fourth to tie the game at 1. |
