Big Leaguers Win First World Series Game

District 9 Big League Baseball played it's first game Saturday against the Southwest(Louisiana) and won 12 to 7. Cody Westerhuis was the starting pitcher followed by 4 more pitchers with Tommy Okke getting the save in the 7th with a 1,2,3 inning. Back to back home runs in the 6th inning proved to be the final blow to a Louisiana team that had several very good hitters and would not throw in the towel. JD Corey led the inning off with a solo blast to make it 11 to 7, and with a new pitcher in for the Southwest, Kyle Schepel followed with another solo blast. Tommorrow is a day off for District 9, with the next game set for 4:00pm Monday against the East from New Jersey. Stay tuned to bigleagueworldseries.org for all of the action.
