SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. (AP) — Nuevo Laredo, Mexico, broke open a scoreless game with four runs in the third inning on its way to a 11-2 victory Sunday over Ramstein Air Force Base, Germany, in an elimination game at the Little League World Series.
Eduardo Mata singled home a run to open the scoring in the third. Enrique Penaloza followed with a sacrifice fly. Ricardo Puga capped the scoring with a two-run homer to give Mexico a 4-0 lead.
Mata had three hits and Penaloza added two home runs in a four-RBI day.
Kaleb Stokes and Tyler Ullmann each had solo home runs for Germany, a team comprised mainly of children of U.S. military or base workers. Germany fell out of contention for the title.
