Rodney Bean scored from second on a stolen base to provide the winning run for Maine’s Tri-County during its 6-5, opening-game victory over Pacific Southwest representative Tri-Valley in the Babe Ruth 13s World Series at Jamestown, New York, on Saturday.
Bean reached when his grounder to first was misplayed with one out in the bottom of the sixth. He went to second on Janek Luksa’s grounder to second. With a 1-2 count on Cody Allen, Bean broke for third and continued home on the catcher’s error.
Cameron Godbois had two hits, including a double, and an RBI for Tri-County, which is representing New England and includes players from Androscoggin, Cumberland and Oxford counties.
Tri-County continues pool play Monday with a game against the Southeast champion at 7:30 p.m.
