Julian DeHoyos and DeAndre Daniel combined on a no-hitter and Eagle Pass, Texas used a six-run second inning to post a 10-0 victory over Stevens Point, Wisconsin in Game 2 of the Babe Ruth 13-year-old World Series on Saturday afternoon.

DeHoyos and Daniel collected nine strikeouts between them in a game that ended after 4 ½ innings via the 10-run rule.

Leading the offense for the Southwest Region champions were Joshua Montes with three hits, Dehoyos — the Ron Tellefsen Player of the Game — with a two-run double and Leandro Mares with a run-scoring double. Both two-baggers came in the decisive second inning. Caleb Jimenez also doubled for Eagle Pass as part of a 10-hit attack.

Brayden Gray took the loss for Stevens Point. Jackson Marsch saw action in relief. Steven Point’s Ron Tellefsen Player of the Game was Mason Philhower.

Both teams will be back in action Sunday. Stevens Point will take on Price, Utah at 11 a.m., while Eagle Pass will square off with host Jamestown at 7 p.m.

GAME 1

STAMFORD, CONN. 10, BROOMALL-NEWTOWN 3

A casual observer might have thought that Broomall-Newtown, Pennsylvania would have come out of the World Series opener with a victory.

After all, the Mid-Atlantic Region champions had their first five batters of the game reach base en route to a 3-0 first-inning lead; turned two double plays, including one that nullified a suicide squeeze bunt; and even retired the side in the fourth inning with a rarely used, yet successful, “hidden-ball trick.”

Guess what?

Stamford, Connecticut won anyway, 10-3.

Although the New England Region champions mustered only four hits — two by Ron Tellefsen Player of the Game Luke Baker — they took advantage of 12 walks to win going away. Seven of them came in succession in a seven-run second inning that was highlighted by a two-run triple by Michael Nguyen.

Armed with a 7-3 lead after two innings, Stamford tacked on two runs in the fourth and one more more in the seventh, courtesy of an RBI single by Brandon Jones.

Cody Meek was the winning pitcher. Cole Patterson took the loss. Ron Tellefsen Player of the Game Matt Schumacher (RBI single), James Hogan (RBI single) and Ryan Raftovich (sacrifice fly) accounted for Broomall-Newtown’s three first-inning runs.

Stamford will be back in action at 4:30 p.m. Monday against Australia, while Broomall-Newtown will take on Australia at 4:30 p.m. Sunday.

Starting at $3.50/week.
