Little Leaguers fall to Oregon

Murrayhill Little League of Beaverton, Ore., just kept piling it on the Laramie Little League in the second day of the Northwest Regional in San Bernardino, Calif.

And I mean pouring it on. The Oregon team finished with a 25-14 win over Wyoming in one of the higher scoring West Regional games in tournament history.

The Laramie team hit three more home runs and out pressure on Oregon at times, but couldn't keep Murrayhill from plating runs. Oregon had three big innings in the game, scoring seven runs in the first, seven in the third and six more in the fifth.

Laramie trailed by just a 9-8 score in the second inning an 16-12 going into the fourth. But that was as close as it would get.

Brian Lopez Jr. hit a pair of home runs in the game for Laramie, with Tommy Nachtigal adding a first-team blast that sailed over the tents in center field.

Laramie, 1-1 in the tournament, will look to bounce back Monday against Montana (Boulder-Arrowhead Little League of Billings) at 10:30 a.m.
