2B – Daily News – Tuesday, August 24, 2010 Mexico boots Puerto Rico from LLWS SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. (AP) — The Valentin family has accom- plished a rare baseball double play. One month, two world series. Less than two weeks after former major lea- guer Jose Valentin, Jr., helped coach a team of 15- and 16-year-olds from Puerto Rico to the Pony Baseball Colt World Series title in Indiana, his father, Jose Sr., coached a team of 11 to 13-year-olds at perhaps the most well- known tournament in youth sports — the Lit- tle League World Series. The elder Valentin didn’t have as much luck after Manati, Puer- to Rico lost to Nuevo Laredo, Mexico, 4-2, Monday. The loss didn’t spoil his enthusiasm for being in South Williamsport. Not only were Jose Jr., and another son and major leaguer, Javier Valentin, watching in the stands, but Valentin also coached three grandsons at the Little League World Series. KNEE (Continued from page 1B) Quarterback Jason Campbell completed all five passes for 89 yards on the opening drive before sputter- ing a bit after that. Campbell finished 10 for 20 for 170 yards with an interception. Second-year receiver Louis Murphy had three catches for 53 yards, rookie Jacoby Ford caught two balls in his exhibition debut and Higgins also caught a pass from Campbell. ‘‘I’m encouraged by that group,’’ Cable said. ‘‘Hope- fully we don’t lose Chaz for any time here. But if it does happen I do think we’re developing that group.’’ Campbell also completed three passes to tight end Zach Miller and Oakland got 105 yards receiving from the running backs with a successful screen game. Michael Bush went 24 yards on a third-and-17 screen pass to get the first drive started and Marcel Reece had a 40-yard play on a screen pass in the second half. ‘‘We’re doing a decent job right now of executing it,’’ Cable said. ‘‘That’s exciting. We got some line- men who can run. They’re getting out and getting peo- ple on the ground. The backs are making nice cuts off it and the timing by the quar- terback has been good. I’m very encouraged by it. We just seem to be doing a bet- ‘‘I want to come back again to Williamsport — soon,’’ he said through interpreter Antonio Gonzalez. In other early games Monday, Kaoshiung, Taiwan routed Vancou- ver, British Columbia 23-0; and Ramstein Air Force Base, Germany beat Plymouth, Minn., 2-1. Rain delayed the Puerto Rico-Mexico game 70 minutes. The Ohio-Georgia game postponed Monday night will be restarted and played Tuesday at 4 p.m. The Connecticut- Washington game scheduled for Monday night will be played at 8 p.m. Tuesday. Games originally scheduled for 4 p.m. and 8 p.m. Tuesday were pushed to Wednesday. Puerto Rico had a sloppy exit from the series after committing seven errors. The go- ahead run by Mexico’s Aaron Juarez scored in the fifth after catcher Victor Valentin, one of the skipper’s grandsons, mishandled a throw to the plate with the bases loaded. ter job of it this year thus far.’’ Notes: C Samson Satele underwent X-rays on his sprained ankle Monday. Satele left Saturday’s game against the Bears with the injury and Cable does not know the extent of it. ... Cable expects most of his other injured players to return to practice Tuesday, including RB Darren McFadden (hamstring), DL Richard Seymour (triceps) and Heyward-Bey (fatigue).

We’re going to win.’’’ Jose Valentin, Jr., said father and son did- n’t have a friendly wager on winning a world series. The younger Valentin coached Gurabo, Puerto Rico and his 16-year- old son, Jesmuel, to the Colt World Series. Another son, Yomar, is on the Little League team. Victor and anoth- er player, Javier Rodriguez, are Yomar’s cousins. ‘‘For me if it doesn’t happen, to me they’re still world champions,’’ Valentin, Jr., said. ‘‘I ...
