Just a day before, he had given up the losing home run against Norte Hermosillo. I was worried for him, but he taught me a lesson. To see him and his teammates get up from that and rise up just a day later was amazing.San Nicolas had been denied in 2015 in the regional semifinals by a different Hermosillo squad. Its win this year assures the northeastern Mexican state of Nuevo Leon its second representative in the Little League World Series in just three years.San Nicolas joins Seoul, South Korea (Asia-Pacific Region), and New South Wales (Australia Region) as the first teams to qualify for this years Little League World Series.
