SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. (AP) — Grant Garwood struck out 13 and allowed one hit, and Urbandale, Iowa avoided a final-inning meltdown to eke out a 6-5 win over Grosse Pointe, Michigan in a Little League World Series elimination game Saturday night.

Alex Augustine gave up a two-run single to Ryan Duffy and a three-run home run to Thomas Maxey before striking out Louis Cardinale to end the game. Garwood reached his 85-pitch limit, and had to be pulled with Urbandale ahead 6-0. Brook Heinen hit a three-run home run for Iowa (1-1) in the fourth inning. Brady Roberts drove in two runs and Carter Troncin hit a solo shot in the fifth at South Williamsport, Pennsylvania.

It was a near dramatic comeback for Grosse Pointe (0-2), which had not managed a hit in the tournament until Maxey opened the fifth-inning with a double.
