Lake Mary All-Stars crush competition in 4th game of Little League World Series
WILLIAMSPORT, Penn. – Lake Mary on Tuesday triumphed over Staten Island, New York, by a score of 6-1 at the Little League World Series in Williamsport, Pennsylvania.
In Tuesday’s game, Lake Mary started out the game at 1-0, keeping a close lead over Staten Island for most of the night.
Lake Mary’s D.J. Meassis helped turn things around when he hit a three-run home run in the top of the sixth inning, creating a huge cushion and bringing the scoreboard firmly in their favor.
In addition, Lake Mary got RBIs from Christopher Cikodroff and pitching ace J.J. Feliciano, the latter of whom was integral for the team’s win over South Dakota.

Garrett Rohozen and Lathan Norton also combined to pitch the 5-hitter, ending the game with Lake Mary’s overwhelming victory.
But the team isn’t off the chopping block yet.
Lake Mary was off to a strong start last week, winning their first two games against Sioux Falls and Puyallup. However, the team was taken down by Boerne on Monday night — the first loss of the season for Lake Mary.
The tournament is double elimination, meaning that teams must lose twice before they’re out of the running. As a result, Lake Mary will be out of the World Series if they lose even one more game.
