WILD FINISH: Iron Mountain 10's Outlast Norway
ESCANABA---The Norway 9-10 boys rallied from an 11-3 deficit to take a one-run lead in the sixth inning, but Iron Mountain scored twice in the bottom of the inning to win the Little League Yooper Tournament Championship, 13-12, at Dickson Field in Escanaba. Both boys also had RBI hits in a nine-run Iron Mountain first inning. Norway's Landon Amundson had put his team in front with a dramatic two-out, two-run base rip that capped a six-run sixth inning rally. The tournament serves as a tune-up for the All-Star district tournaments in mid-July.
