Undefeated! Lemon Grove Beats Texas 9-1 for Berth in Semifinals

After a walk-off win Wednesday, the Lemon Grove Senior League All-Stars defeated the West University Little League from Houston, Texas, 9-1 on Thursday and advance to the semifinals of the Senior League World Series.

“Brandon Weed pitched an outstanding game, and the bats came alive,” the proud father said.
