Red Bluff was within three outs of advancing to the Little League World Series in South Williamsport, Penn. when Ocean View’s Steven Kotkosky hit a 2-run homer to give Southern California the lead. Ocean View pitcher Hagen Dan- ner, who at one point struck out nine consecutive hitters, ended Red Bluff’s last chance to bat 1-2-3 to end the game. He finished the game, televised nationally on ESPN with 14 strikeouts. One year ago, the Ocean View team was in Red Bluff’s shoes when they finished as the West Regional runner-up. This time around the team dominated the tournament, scoring 41 runs and allowing just five runs as they racked up a 5-0 record. They beat Red Bluff 10-2 in the opening round. That made Red Bluff’s early 1-0 lead in the championship game even more special. After Wesley Clawson set down the first three Ocean View hitters in order, Austin Youngblood gave Red Bluff a leadoff base runner when his ground ball short hopped the second baseman and bounded into right field. Youngblood advanced to second base on a pitch in the dirt and was moved over to third by a productive at bat from Kolby Button. That set the stage for Lane Pritchard who ripped an RBI single to drive home Youngblood and give Red Bluff a 1-0 lead. Nicholas Rodriguez would dou- ble down the third base line to move Pritchard to third, but Red Bluff wouldn’t get another run. For most of the game the lead was enough for Clawson, who threw a gem on the mound for Red Bluff. He allowed just two hits through the first five innings. Those came to lead off the third inning and gave Ocean View run- ners on second and third with nobody out.
