An overflow crowd packed Riverway Sports Park in Visalia. Pitcher Jace Chamberlain told Action News a couple weeks before the game that he was ready to go, and he backed it up with a handful of strikeouts.

Isaiah Espinoza added to the Visalia lead with the RBI single up the middle.

And then it's Chamberlain with one final strikeout to end it early. The offense exploded for 10 runs in the first four innings, culminating in a dog pile by the pitcher's mound.

Visalia wins the championship game in a mercy-rule blowout, 10-0 the final score over South Lexington, Kentucky.
