Yesterday a girl drove in the winning runs in a Little League World Series game for possibly the first time ever.
Katie Reyes hit a two-run single in the top of the sixth to help Vancouver, British Columbia, rally for a wild 14-13 victory Tuesday over Ramstein Air Force Base, Germany, in the Little League World Series. [...]
“I was excited. I was shaking,” Reyes, 13, said about going to the plate for her big hit. She finished with three hits and three runs batted in.
Playing first, Reyes also caught the last out. She joined her happy teammates jumping on the mound after Canada won its last game of the series.
Canada has already been eliminated, so Ms. Reyes won’t be going on to further glory in the tournament this year, but I think she’s already earned plenty. You go, girl.
