In the top of the 7th, the Angels turn their 3rd double play of the game (Brandon Bailey SS, Jalen Scott 2B and Brandon Lankford 1B) to shut down the Titans. Angels go to the bottom of the 7th, needing just one run to win the game. Jalen Scott singles with one out to get things going. Gavin Tippett lays down a sacrafice bunt to move Jalen to 2nd. Jacob Souza comes to the plate with 2 outs, and Jalen on 2nd. Jacob hits a blooper over 2nd base, which barely falls between several Titans. Jalen is just one step from 3rd by the time the ball hits the ground, and Jalen beats the throw to the plate for the WINNING RUN! ANGELS WIN THE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP GAME 7-6 !!!!!!
