The 2001 Dodgers - Game Reports

Game 7
Dodgers 9 - Giants 1

The Little League Dodgers avenged their first loss of the season Tuesday night beating the Giants 9-1. Trevor Foss delivered the big blow for the Dodgers, hitting a 3 run triple with 2 outs in the bottom of the first. On the same play, Foss scored on a throwing error. Cam Hanson scored the final run of the inning. Hanson walked, stole second, advanced to third when the ball skipped into centerfield, and eventually scored on a wild pitch. The Dodgers scored all 5 runs in the inning with two outs. Sam Markham had a 2 RBI double in the second inning to push the Dodger cushion to 7-1.

Trevor Foss was the story of the day for the Dodgers. The Dodger backstop followed up his first inning triple with a triple in the third, and a double in the fifth. Foss scored after all 3 trips to the plate. Foss also made his first mound appearance of the year, striking out 5 in two innings of work.

The Dodgers pulled even with the Cubs atop the league leader board after the Cubs lost to the Braves in what will probably be one of the better played games of the year. The Braves outlasted the Cubs 2-1 in nine innings. The game featured some outstanding pitching and defense by both teams.

Friday night, the Dodgers hope to get out to a lightening quick start against the Indians who have been taking the American League by storm.
