Hillside Mets Win Little League World Championship
The Hillside Mets under manager William H Beattie won the world title by taking two of three games from the American League Tigers after capturing the pennant from the National League Giants 13 to 5. Rocky Silecchia starred on the mound with 10 strikeouts in game one and seven in relief in game three. John Berghoefer drove in the winning run in game one, and Mark Keisler delivered a decisive base hit in the final game as Ken Jarecki scored. Beattie led the hitting with six home runs as the Mets topped the Tigers 4 3 in the opener and 3 2 in the rematch.
