Olive, Moran hit grand slams

Sam Olive and Cody Moran both came up with grand slam home runs

Saturday to highlight minors division play at Huntington Valley Little

League.

In Minor A Division play, Olive’s blast was the big hit during the

Cardinals’ 25-2 rout of the Rangers, which also included a three-run home

run by Shea Hausen and Tony Ciarelli going 5 for 5.

Moran’s slam came in the second inning, and he also doubled, but his

Indians were a 6-5 loser to the Marlins, who were led by Trevor

Pagenkoop’s three hits.
