[Magdalen] Little League World Series and Assumption.

[Christopher Hart]

Yes, quite a pitching duel tonight. The only runs scored by either team
came on home runs. I got to watch the whole game on TV because it was
carried by the local sports channel as a Phillies game. As for the World
Series, let's wait and see. It's still a long season.
