A different method
Written by

Apparently, the Lafayette Little League All-Stars are no one-trick pony.
In Southwest Regional play, Lafayette scored 58 runs in five wild games filled with unpredictable, crazy finishes.
In Thursday's first game of the Little League World Series in Williamsport, Pa., Lafayette showed it's also capable of winning a very different kind of game.
But it still conjured up some more of that late-inning magic.
Left-handed pitcher Ethan Hines pitched five dominant innings, but left the game with the bases loaded and no outs.
Right-hander Haden Erbe then came on to escape the scary jam and preserve the dramatic 2-0 victory over Warner Robins, Ga.
With the win, Lafayette will now take on Billings, Montana at 1 p.m. Sunday. Billings defeated Rapid City, S.D., 6-4, in Thursday's second game.
Lafayette's hopes of going into the winners bracket began to dim in the top of the sixth. Down 2-0, Jacob Giles reached on an error ahead of singles by Josh Goodman and Austin Burnette to load the bases.
That's when Lafayette coach Leland Padgett made the move to Erbe.
"My message to him was to just get the outs," Padgett said. "We knew we had to sew it up at that point."
Erbe did just that by coaxing a pop up, getting a strikeout and then forcing Giles at the plate to sew up the win.
"I was very confident going in there," Erbe said. " I've been in that position a few times before and I was successful."
Warner Robins is making its third LLWS trip in the last five seasons.
"Lafayette made a great pitching change and just got us there at the end," Georgia coach Phillip Johnston said. "Their pitching staff pitched a great game. They've very efficient."
Lafayette had that two-run cushion late thanks to some opportunistic offense and some flashy defense.
The first run came in the third when Tyler Miller tripled deep to center and scored on Nick Fruge's RBI ground out.
"I thought that my ball was going to be a home run, [because the team is used to playing on 200-foot fields, and Lamade is 225] so I was just kind of jogging to first base," Miller said. "When I saw it hit the wall I knew I had to hustle to get to third."
Padgett added, "Yeah, we're going to have to work on that."
In the fourth, Erbe led off with a single, stole second and then advanced home on two wild pitches.
Georgia nearly scored in the third inning when it put runners on first and third with just one out, but two nice plays by Lafayette's middle infield erased the threat.
"You know Warner Robins is a tough team going into this," Padgett said. "And you know that Montana's going to be another tough game. We just try to take it one game at a time, one pitch at a time, and to teach our boys to take everything one moment at a time."
Hines ended up giving up no runs on seven hits with no walks and six strikeouts.
"I was just hitting all my spots," Hines said. "That's what I've got to do.
"We played really good defense today. They hit some good balls and we just caught them."
