Good evening ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls and all the ships at sea. We welcome you to another addition of "This Week in Little League Baseball". (Long music intro)

How can two teams play on each coast on the same day? The big leaguers of the Mets from New York and the Giants from the San Francisco bay meet in New York for a three game series. The Little Leaguers of C.A.L.L. met here in Concord to settle the west coast feud.

Same team names, same great battles, different outcomes.

The Mets started off the first with a lead off single by Andrei Ortega. This looked like the extension of the last game between these two teams. The next three Mets were retired on strike outs by the work of the Thomas', Thomas Herman of the Giants and Thomas (bean ball) Parisi of the Mets. At the end of the half inning, score 0-0.

At the end of the first, the Giants lead 0-5.
