SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. (AP) — Kaiden Dinh hit a walk-off single and Johnston, Iowa rallied past Warwick, Rhode Island 3-2 on Tuesday in an elimination game of the Little League World Series. Miles Risley led off the bottom of the sixth inning by reaching on an error and Michael Siemer blooped a single into right field to put runners on the corners with one out. Then Jack Emanuel walked to load the bases.
After Rhode Island starter Colin Lemieux left due to a pitch limit, Josh Larson hit the first pitch to tie it at 2-2. On the next pitch, Dinh singled through the same hole on the left side to win it. Lemieux allowed just four hits and struck out 13 in 5 1/3 innings. Iowa reliever Tyler Moore threw 60 pitches in four innings and allowed only one earned run.
Dinh led off the bottom of the fifth with a solo home run to tie it at 1-1. But Kenny Rix hit the second pitch of the sixth over the left-field wall to give Rhode Island a 2-1 lead.
Tennessee plays Iowa on Wednesday. Zach McWilliams allowed four hits and one earned run over 4 1/3 innings, Tyler Jones hit a go-ahead home run in the seventh inning and Goodlettsville, Tennessee beat Chula Vista, California 4-2 on Tuesday night in an elimination game of the Little League World Series.
ST. LOUIS (AP) — Wilmer Flores and Justin Ruggiano homered as the New York Mets beat the St. Louis Cardinals 7-4 on Tuesday night. Jose Reyes reached four base times and scored three runs. Asdrubal Cabrera had three hits, drove in a run and scored once.
The offense helped Robert Gsellman (1-0) get the decision in his major league debut. Gsellman, pressed into action after starter Jonathon Niese left with an injury in the first inning, pitched 3 2/3 innings without allowing an earned run.
Jeurys Familia earned his 42nd save, one shy of the Mets’ season record set by Familia last year and Armando Benitez in 2001. Cardinals lefty Jaime Garcia (10-9) gave up a season-high six runs at home, in just four innings. New York broke a 22 1/3-inning streak in which Garcia hadn’t given up an earned run at home to the Mets.

The City of Atlantic’s Community Protection Committee Tuesday evening voted to recommend the Atlantic City Council order a resident who is keeping a pot bellied pig on their rental property, to remove the animal as required by City Code. Their decision came in a brief meeting, during which a neighbor complained about the smell and a terrible problem with flies attracted by the animal.
Rebecca Sponsler, who lives next door to the property in the 800 block of Chestnut Street, told the Committee the animal doesn’t look like a pot bellied pig. Instead, she said it looks a like a farm pig.

She said also she has “A huge fly problem,” to the extent that they are “Killing hundreds a day,” at her home. She also said when the wind carries a horrible smell when it shifts toward her home. Sponsler said she doesn’t want it next door to her anymore. Sponsler also said she can’t sell her house because prospective buyers are turned-off by the smell and appearance of the adjacent property.
Atlantic Animal Control Officer Kris Erickson said they have received other complaints about the animal and the property itself. The Committee said the owner of the pig could approach the City Council about a permit to keep the animal, but the Committee will recommend against issuing that permit, per City Code, which states “It is unlawful for a person to keep livestock within the City except by written consent of the Council or except in compliance with the City’s Zoning Ordinances.”
Livestock is defined in the City Code, as “An animal belonging to the bovine, caprine, equine, ovine or porcine species…” as defined in the Code of Iowa.

The owner of the pig did not appear at Tuesday evening’s meeting at City Hall to offer comment about the animal or address the neighbors’ concerns.
