SAN DIEGO — The West All-Americans scored six runs in the sixth and seventh innings Sunday night for a come-from-behind 7-6 victory over the East in the Perfect Game All-American Classic at Petco Park.
After falling behind early, the West battled back with four runs in the sixth inning, highlighted by a two-run single by USC commit Dominic Smith.
Fellow USC commit Rowdy Tellez struck with two outs in the following inning with a two-strike liner to left field that went under the fielder’s glove for a two-run triple. San Diego commit Stephen Gonsalves and Kacy Clemens, a Texas commit, scored on the play and combined to collect the win and save.
There was plenty of action in the game and we were there to capture it. Check out the top 20 shots of the West squad:
