The IBEW Marlins claimed the Gastineau Channel Little League Minor Division championship on Saturday evening at Miller Field.<\/p>\n
The Marlins won 21-20 over the Red Sox, who after trailing by one run after the second and third innings, took a 17-16 lead going into the fifth inning. But that’s when Nate Fick hit a grand slam to give the Marlins the lead back for good.<\/p>\n
The Marlins ended the regular season by winning eight of their last nine games and were undefeated in the postseason until Saturday. The Red Sox forced the if-game by handing the Marlins their first loss of the tournament, a 12-3 final in which the Red Sox scored in all but one inning.<\/p>\n
They blew the game open in the fourth inning by scoring five runs. Hunter Carte went 3-for-3 and scored four runs and Breven Jackson went 3-for-3 and scored three runs for the victors. Fick went 2-for-2 and scored one for the Marlins, who were shutout over the final four innings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
