Chula Vista has won the 2009 Little League World Series. The team representing the Western US defeated Chinese-Taipei 6-3. The team dominated the 2009 Little Leauge World Series tournament scoring 61 runs in six games. The team also racked up a record 19 home runs during the tournament.

Chinese-Taipei appeared as if they were going to dominate the 2009 Little League World Championship game after getting out to a 3-0 lead in the top of the third inning. But Chula Vista responded by scoring a run in the bottom of the third and another three runs in the bottom of the fourth.

The team was led by Andy Rios, who had three hits and scored two runs. Rios also set up a key double play that helped preserve a one-run lead. Chula Vista managed to add two more runs in the bottom of the fifth inning.

Chula Vista put on one of the most dominating performances in the history of the Little League World Series. The team from Chula Vista scored 61 runs in six games and had 19 home runs in total. Four Chula Vista players had three or more home runs during the 2009 Little League World Series.

Andy, congratulations to your son and the whole team for a great series. We were rooting for the San Antonio team and the Reynosa, Mexico team as well and were hoping for a San Antonio-Reynosa, Mexico finals because Reynosa borders our hometown and San Antonio is four hours away. Nevertheless, I believe your the same guy that I met in San Diego, CA back in 1977 while I worked for the US Border Patrol and you for the San Diego PD. I remember getting together at the Valley Shadows Club, a COP Club, on San Ysidro Blvd many times. I saw you on television during the Little League World Series and immediately recognized you. Are you that same guy I met 32 years ago and actually became friends and hung out together? What a small world!!  Anyway, all the best to you and the World Champions Chula Vista Team.

Readers of this blog/page (whatever you want to call it) should expect to hear of an "official challenge" to the championship game results of Chinese Taipei -vs- Chula Vista, CA.  This writer believes that amphetamine use was engaged in by the USA team;  namely Kiko Garcia.  We'll see.
