The Rangers and Red Sox met for the second time in the championship tournament to decide once and for all who would reign supreme.

The Red Sox had finished the season with an impressive 21-2 record and had finished first in the regular season.

After the season's completion, the Rangers ended up only 10-13, but fought with an unparalleled fury in the championship tournament, taking their first game from the Indians 7-6 and then one from the Red Sox 7-4. They faced the A's in the semifinal round, besting them 4-3 to advance to the finals.

The Red Sox wouldn't go away after their first loss to the Rangers, meeting the Indians in game two and advancing with a 7-1 victory. The Red Sox then faced the A's, who fought with extreme vigor. After 11 innings and 3 1/2 hours of baseball, the Red Sox came away with a 5-4 win and their place in the final round.

The final game of the Saratoga Little League championship tournament was nothing short of amazing—a pitchers' duel with three hurlers battling through six innings. The Red Sox two top arms Brandon Morales and Kyle Miller tossed three innings apiece and combined for a three-hitter.

Morales started and left after three, having given up only one hit to the Ranger's Kyle Borch. Miller stepped up in the fourth and allowed only two hits through three innings and no runners advanced past second base.

Michael McGinnis started for the Rangers and struggled a little, but was able to work his way out of a couple of jams and got through six allowing only three hits. One big hit came in the second when Andy Berman doubled to deep center with a man on first and no outs to put two runners into scoring position. McGinnis fanned two batters and threw a ground ball to get himself out of the inning.

After the end of six and the score tied 0-0, Miller again climbed atop the mound. He struck out the first batter and gave up a walk, allowing Nick Olsen on first base. Lead-off batter David McPartlan knocked an infield single advancing the runner to second.

Michael Escobar hit a chopper in front of home plate, but the Red Sox catcher attempted to force Olsen at third and threw the ball down the left field line, allowing Olsen to score and leaving McPartlan and Escobar at second and third. David Beam got the second infield single of the inning to drive in McPartlan and advance Escobar. McGinnis helped himself with a line drive up the middle, knocking in Escobar. The Red Sox settled themselves a little bit and Miller struck out the next two batters.

With a three-run lead in the bottom of the seventh, Neil Bruner came in to relieve McGinnis. Brandon Morales led off the seventh with a double to right center and was followed up by a two-strike homer off the bat of Andy Berman.

With no outs and two runs in, the stands and the Red Sox bench were going crazy so the Rangers manager went out to calm his pitcher. Whatever he said must have worked, because Bruner fell into a zone, downing the next three batters in order to take the win for the Rangers.

The AAA Division of Saratoga Little League had a similar outcome. The Rangers met the Indians in the final game of the championship round.

The Rangers took an early lead, scoring two runs in the first and pitcher Kyle Penuen held the Indians off, giving up nothing in the first two innings.

Michael Lauck of the Indians ripped a base knock in the fourth to drive in Matt Escobar and the first run on the day. In the sixth, the Indians tied the game when George Ellenikiotis singled up the middle, advanced on a hit by Robert Bernal and finally tied the game on a sacrifice fly from Escobar. The Rangers could not hold their lead and gave up a final run on a hit by Greg Kenter.

In the last of the sixth, Ellenikiotis of the Indians struck out the first batter, but gave up three straight hits. But thanks to some help in the field, he allowed no runs and picked up the win.
