Angels silence Dodgers

Blake Thomsen singled in David Weiland with the game’s only run and

the Angels defeated the Dodgers, 1-0, in the Newport Beach Little

League Majors National League championship game May 22.

The Angels, who won their fourth straight playoff game, received a

stellar effort from pitcher Jamie Heinecke, who extended his

scoreless streak in the playoffs to 14 innings with the shutout.

Right fielder Mikey Pawell threw out the potential tying run at

the plate and Emil Peterson stopped a line drive in the third inning.

Mike Moorhead and Ryan Grable added hits for the Angels, who faced

the Reds in the league championship game Thursday.

Capaldi had two hits while retiring the side in order in three

innings on the hill.

Doug Watt allowed one run in his three innings and added a hit.

Andrew Machoskie, Donald Dalton, Trent Anderson and T.J. Danner each

tallied hits for the Dodgers.
