It was a cliff-hanger but Santa Maria pulled it out -- 5-3 in 11 innings.
After 4 innings, SM trailed the Community Bank (Wichita, KS) Cowboys 3-0. With runs in the 5th and 6th innings, SM pulled to within 3-2, and then a run in the 8th made it 3-3. A 2-out, 2-run homer in the bottom of the 11th brought home the 5-3 win for Santa Maria.
From the 8th inning, the radio announcers were commenting that it was the best game so far in the World Series (and it is going to be hard to top it).
JJ entered the game in the middle innings as a pinch runner.
Wes did not play. With the extra innings, though, both players can expect some playing time in the next two games.

Next game will be Saturday against the winner of a game Thursday between teams from Austin TX and Crestwood IL.
