Reid Penney hit a solo homer, Mitch Lomax struck out eight and Calvin Hermanson worked out of final-inning jam for Lake Oswego (1-1).

Penney's shot sailed through light raindrops and landed in the hedges beyond the left-field fence.

"I looked at it as I rounded first and it was cool to see it go out of Williamsport, Pennsylvania," said the 12-year-old.

It didn't go quite that far, but the homer was good enough to give Lake Oswego its first win.

Walpole (1-1) mounted a rally in the bottom of the sixth after John Adams hustled into second on a blooper to shallow center and Brian Wolpe walked. But Hermanson got Samuel Falkson to hit into a force play to end the game.
