Ladera Juniors Advance Towards the Gold!

Ladera Little League’s Junior team is one win from winning the District 25 2009 Juniors Gold League championship after taking the opening game of the best of 3 championship series against the West LA Orioles on Thursday, June 4^th, 2009. The Ladera team won in dominant fashion as it defeated the Orioles 11 to 0 in a 5 inning game shortened by the 10 run mercy rule. The big hits were a two run homer by Equan Martin in the second inning and a grand slam by Greg Carter in the fourth. Martin’s homerun was his fourth of the season while Carter’s was his first round tripper and the team’s only grand slam of the season. . Harrison McElroy and Colburn Pittman also had great hitting games going 3 for 4 each. Shabaka Johnson, Lemuel Parker, and Christopher Robinson also delivered hits.

Ladera benefited from a magnificent pitching performance from Harrison McElroy as he pitched a no-hitter. He struck out three while only three batters got on base; two by base-on balls and one by error. No runners advanced past second base. Ladera also played great defense in the field highlighted by two defensive gems by centerfielder Colburn Pittman. The first was a diving catch on a low line drive in the third frame. The other was the last play of the game when Pittman persevered the no-hitter by tracking down an almost certain hit into the gap and catching it over his shoulder.

The Ladera Juniors Gold team advanced to the finals series by beating the West LA Indians two games to one in the semi-finals series. Ladera bounced back from a opening lost at 17 to 12 to defeat the Indians in consecutive games at 18 to 15 and 15 to zero. Highlights of the series were Harrison McElroy’s 3 homeruns in 3 games and Equan Martin’s shutout pitching in game three.

Ladera will play the Orioles again on Saturday, June 6, at 6 PM at West LA Little League field in an attempt to bring home the gold. The third game of the series if necessary will be played on Monday, June 8 at 7 PM at West LA.
