ALACHUA, Fla. — The Port Angeles 12U baseball team’s sensational summer came to an end with a 4-3 loss Monday to Tulare, Calif., in the Commissioner’s Cup at the Cal Ripken Major World Series.
Port Angeles took a 2-1 lead in the top of the fourth inning on a two-out, two-strike homer run by Lucas Jarnagin that brought home Tyler Bowen.
Tulare tied the game up at 2-2 in the bottom of the fifth when a batter walked, moved forward on a passed ball and scored on a single to right field.
Tulare took the lead for good on a two-run homer later in the bottom of the fifth.
Port Angeles’ Tanner Lunt tried to get a rally going, opening the bottom of the sixth inning with a solo home run to center field, but Tulare struck out the next three batters to close out the game.
Port Angeles finished with a 3-4 record at the World Series after winning the Cal Ripken state championship and the Pacific Northwest Regional championship in July.
