Twins 10 White Sox 9 Mother Nature has been quite moody at times this Little League sea- son but Wednesday night May 16th she gave us a gem for the second meeting of the year between the Twins and the White Sox. The Twins came out swing- ing as 5 of the 7 batters facing Joey Costa on the mound for the White Sox picked up hits.

White Sox plated 4 runs in their half, thanks to a 2B hit from Jude Sherman, an RBI 2B hit from Landen Saeva; Tommy Condidorio reaching on an error and a single from Joey Costa. The Twins did not give up though, plating 4 more runs of their own in the 2nd thanks to Gaven Myers start- ing things off hitting the 1st pitch he saw to right field recording his FIRST Ca- reer Little League hit. Congratulations Gaven!! Evan Rose picked up a single, Piazza picked up 2 RBI’s with his 2nd hit of the game. Egeling saw his 2nd & 3rd RBI’s of the contest after A. Riggi singled.
