Kyle Tucker drove home Jason Heinrich, and Jonathan Diaz followed with a solo home run as Forest Hills won the U.S. championship at the Cal Ripken World Series in Aberdeen, Md. with a 4-2 victory against Upper Montgomery, Md. on Friday evening.
With the game tied 2-2 in the bottom of the fifth, Heinrich singled with one out, and stole second. Tucker then singled into right-center field, bringing home Heinrich.
Tucker was caught stealing second for the second out, but Diaz then homered to center for a two-run cushion.
Heinrich earned the victory on the mound, throwing three shutout inning after entering in the fourth. Heinrich held Upper Montgomery hitless, pitching around two walks and a hit batter.
