SHELBY, NC – Chapin-Newberry (S.C.) Post 193’s Peyton Spangler drew a bases-loaded walk in the bottom of the ninth inning, bringing home teammate Andrew Livingston for the winning run in a 2-1 victory against Midland (Mich.) Post 165 in Game 6 of The American Legion World Series.

Post 193 (29-0) trailed 1-0 in the bottom of the ninth, but Ryan Stoudemire reached on an error and Kevis Burton followed with a single. Pinch runner Delshun Young was thrown out at third on Livingston’s fielder’s choice, but Zach Ziesing followed with a deep double to center field that showed Burton.

Danton Hyman was then intentionally walked to load the bases, and Spangler followed suit on four pitches to bring home Livingston.

Ryne Huggins went the distance for Post 193, scattering nine hits and striking out six. Midland pitcher Jordan Patty nearly matched Huggins pitch for pitch, giving up nine hits and striking out five in 8.1 innings.

Midland (47-7 overall, 1-1 in the ALWS) scored in the top of the third when Cole Brooks drove home Derrek Clyde.
