Wednesday saw Bosco carry a big stick as they took on USWA. With a second inning explosion that saw Bosco score eight times, they controlled the game en route to a 12-2 SouthWest Little League win.

First inning saw Nich of USWA single and move to third on ground outs before being stranded there. Bosco didn't fair much better as Mitch and Brandon both singled but Bosco was not able to get the runners home.

Getting runners home was not a problem for Bosco in the second inning. After the bases got loaded on walks, Lance singled to get the scoring going. Following two more walks bringing in two more runs, Brandon doubled in more runs. Ryan then doubled Brandon home followed by singles by Spencer and Phillip to help push across more runs making it 8-0 Bosco after two innings.

USWA responded with two runs of their own in the third inning. After Jason reached base on an error, Nich singled and Jeff drove them home narrowing the Bosco lead to 8-2.

Bosco then sealed the victory in the bottom of the fourth inning. Clay led off with a single. Following walks to Brandon and Ryan, Spencer doubled and Connor doubled to push the lead to 10 runs invoking the game ending rule with Bosco winning 12-2.

Brandon went the distance for Bosco giving up two hits while striking out two. USWA utilized four pitchers on the night.
