Flemings’ offense came alive and its defense was stingy during a two-game swing — both victories — in a four-day period in Newport Beach Little League Majors Division action.
On Tuesday, Flemings’ recorded a 6-0 shutout win over McMonigle. Brett Super threw 5 2/3 scoreless innings before reaching his pitch limit. He was relieved by Sam Kobrine, who finished the shutout.
McMonigle pitcher Jack Trush threw four solid innings and gave up just one run on a run batted in by Alec Tak of Flemings.
Flemings broke the game open in the fifth on Jonathan White’s two-RBI single.
Jack Genova went three for three and drove in a run and Ethan Wien added an RBI and scored the final run for Flemings. Connor Costello started Flemings’ fifth-inning five-run rally with a solid line drive to right-field.
Flemings beat ProBall, 5-1, Saturday and rode the pitching trio of Super, Kobrine and Alex Shadid, who combined on a two-hitter. White and Blake Kormos each had a pair of RBI doubles and Will Favreau made the defensive play of the game for Flemings with a catch of a long drive on the dead run just inside the right-field line.
