GLENDALE, Ariz.- After a dominating all-around performance, San Diego Show earned themselves a spot in Friday's Gold Medal Game, defeating Storm Elite, 7-0, at Dodgers 5 at Camelback Ranch on Thursday.
Starting pitcher Tyler Thornton threw 6.0 scoreless innings, allowing only three hits and two walks while striking out 10 batters. Kyle Casper had a team-high two hits, including a double, RBI and run scored.
The scoring started early, as Angelo Peraza doubled and scored on a Casper RBI-single. A hit and a pair of errors allowed three more runs to cross, putting Show up by four early.
Garrett Frechette tripled in the second to drive in two more, followed by a Mike Campanga ground ball that would plate the seventh and final run of the game.
Storm Elite would make things interesting in the sixth, loading the bases with two away. However, an Anthony Ramirez line out would end the threat.
Suffering the loss for Storm Elite was Jacob Manzella, allowing seven runs (five earned) on just four hits. Nicholas Romanowski pitched well in relief, allowing no runs and just one hit while striking out four and walking none.
San Diego Show will go for gold tomorrow at the Peoria Sports Complex against CBA Marucci National. First pitch is scheduled for 10:00 a.m.
