Behind the one hit pitching of Casey Becker and Scott Schauer, the

Brewers blanked the Dodgers, 5-0, to move a step closer to securing the

second half title in Majors Division competition at Robinwood Little

League.

Becker and Schauer combined to strike out 14 Dodgers, with Garrett

Kaplan’s single accounting for the lone Dodger hit.

The Brewers jumped out to a 2-0 first inning lead on Adam Duffis’

two-RBI double.

It was the second win of the week for the Brewers, who also defeated

the Yankees, 8-1. In that win, Josh Votaw had two hits, and the pitching

duo of Becker and Schauer once again shut down the opposition on three

hits, while striking out 14.

Gray Bailey singled twice, and Ryan Magney, who made the defensive

play of the game with a great catch on the run in right field, had the

other Yankee hit.
