Orioles scrap past Rockies for Little League title
BY DAVID PECK
The cardiac Orioles sur-
vived two one-run games,
a suspended game and a
three-run decision to win
the LoveU Little League
post-season tournament last
Wednesday night at the new
Lovell East field.
The Orioles defeated the
Cowley Rockies 16-13 in the
title game.
The O's received a first-
round bye after winning the
regular season title, then
opened tournament play b);
edging the Phi]lies 4-3. They
squeaked past the Rockies
5-4 in the semifinals last
Monday night.
Meanwhile, the Rockies
clubbed the Byron A's 16-6
and edged the Marlins 12-11
before falling to the Orioles
in the semis.
The Rocks eliminated
the Yankees 11-9 Tuesday
evening in a game that had
been postponed from Mon-
day night. That gave the
championship game a late
start and only two innings
were played, after which the
O's led 6-3.
The title game contin-
ued with the third inmng
Wednesday evening, and the
O's built a 13-7 lead after
four innings, only to see the
Rockies rally to tie the game
at 13 with a six-run fifth. The
Orioles came back to plate
three runs in the bottom of
the fifth, then held the Rock-
ies scoreless in the top of the
sixth to win the game 16-13.
There was plenty of scor-
ing in the title game. The
Rockies took a 2-0 lead in
the top of the first inning as
O's starter Beau Green e-
perienced some control prob-
lems. The Orioles tied the
score 2-2 in the bottom of the
second as Trace Murphey
and Nic Haskell rapped base
hits.
The Rocks added a run
in the top of the second to
lead 3-2, but the Orioles
scored four in the bottom of
the frame to lead 6-3. Ka-
leb Mayes smashed a double
and Tyler Teter a single dur-
ing the rally. The game was
suspended due to darkness
following the inning.
Picking up in the top of
the third the following eve-
ning, the Rockies scored a
run on hits by Cordell Mc-
Farlane and Carson May.
The Orioles, however, plated
five runs in the bottom of the
inning thanks to some walks
and hit batters and a single
by Tyler Teter. The O's led
11-4 after three.
The Rockies hung tough,
scoring three runs in the top
of the fourth as Cole Wam-
beke homed and Jared May,
McFarlane and Lathan May
hitting the ball. But the Ori-
oles plated two runs in the
bottom of the fourth to lead
13-7.
The Rockies got to Ori-
oles reliever Tyler Teter in
the top of the fifth, and he
was relieved by his twin
brother Brandon. The Rocks
plated six runs to tie the
score at 13-13. Lathan May
ripped a double, and Kelton
Hennrich smashed a three-
run triple to fuel the inning.
In the bottom of the in-
ning, however, the Orioles
scored three runs on hits by

Trace Murphey looks to apply the tag during the Orioles' 16-13 win in the Lovell Little League post-season
tournament Wednesday night.
Murphey, Green and Tyler
Teter to take a 16-13 lead,
and Brandon Teter shut the
Rockies out in the top of the
sixth to preserve the victory,
despite a double by McFar-
lane.
Orioles coach Scott Mur-
phey said pitching depth was
key to his team's champion-
ship, especially with the new
Little League rules that lim-
it each player's pitch count.
"We broke in our pitch-
ers young and took a lick-
ing for two years," Mur-
phey said. "We were.able to
keep the team together and
gained some good pitching
depth. With the new pitch
count, that's critical."
Noting his team's hit-
ting, Murphey said the team
benefited from some instruc-
tion and "new techniques"
from Lovell Mustangs coach
Jeff Young.
"That helped us out a
lot," Murphey said.
The Orioles lose three
12-year-olds: Haskell, Green
and Michael Roth.
