SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. -- Tennessee players threw their gloves in the air as they converged near third base before falling to the ground with big smiles. The exhaustive 24-16 victory Saturday over Petaluma, Calif., will be remembered back home for a while -- and not just because it earned Goodlettsvilles favourite sons a berth in the Little League World Series title game. Brock Myers hit a tie-breaking double in Tennessees nine-run seventh inning. Tennessee had its big inning after California scored 10 runs in the bottom of the sixth to tie it. "I cant believe it," Tennessee manager Joey Hale said. "I tell people this is like Christmas on steroids and Im having a blast." Tennessee will face Tokyo on Sunday. Japan beat Aguadulce, Panama, 10-2 in the international final. Only Californias 10-run comeback to send the game into extra innings tied at 15 could overshadow Tennessee slugger Lorenzo Butlers extraordinary day at the plate. Butler set a single-game record with nine RBIs, and tied a record with three homers to lead Tennessee. Tennessee finally held on in the bottom of the seventh. The California boys might have lost, but they had nothing to be ashamed about -- especially not after the improbable rally. Pitching aside, they took part in a Little League classic. The teams combined for 40 runs -- another World Series record -- in a game that lasted more than three hours. Cole Tomei had a two-run double in the sixth, and Hance Smiths solo shot with two outs tied it at 15. "The message will be you never gave up," said Hances father, California manager Eric Smith. "All weve asked of them all year was their best effort. I never saw them quit and I never saw them think they were out of it." Luke Browns strikeout to end the game set off a wild celebration on the field. Tennessee ended up near their dugout in front of third, giddy with exhaustion before they had to get up for the customary postgame handshakes. "I finally get to rest," Tennessee catcher Cole Carter. "My legs were killing me after catching seven innings." The U.S. title game looked as though it might also be a blowout with Tennessee leading 15-5 in the sixth. Thats when Petaluma powered up at the plate. Every run that drew California closer turned up the intensity in the Lamade Stadium stands. "Petaluma! Petaluma!" Californias fans pleaded throughout the sixth. Smiths homer finally completed the comeback. And soon enough, Tennessee surged ahead again with nine runs in the seventh. Logan Douglas scored on an error for California in the bottom of the seventh with two outs to make it 24-16, and anxious fans wondered again if Petaluma could pull off another miraculous rally. But it wasnt to be. "They certainly knew it was going to be easy, but they werent moping around the dugout," said about his teams fortitude. "Im fine with that. I dont think Ive seen a game like this, coming back from 10 runs and then giving up nine." Butler had such a big day at the plate his name at one point was a trending topic on Twitter. He hit a trio of three-run homers, including the final one the opposite way to right in the sixth to make it 15-5. After each blast, Butler looked calm in the dugout, seeming as collected as a big-league hitter in a tense playoff game. "Yes sir, first time I hit three homers," the 12-year-old slugger said simply. Japan relied on the bats in the early game, too, getting five homers, including two from 13-year-old slugger Kotaro Kiyomiya, for the international championship. The 6-foot Kiyomiya is imposing at the plate, and he set the tone early with a first-inning blast that sailed deep down the right-field line. Edisson Gonzalez had an RBI single in the first while Daniel Castro added a run-scoring double in the second for Panama. Those runs got Panama to 4-2 going into the third. But Japan didnt let up. Rintaro Hirano homered to centre in the third before Kiyomiya went deep again in the fourth, this time the opposite way to left-centre to make it 7-2. Starter Yuta Ishida allowed four hits and struck out six over four innings, while three relievers combined for two shutout innings to close out the game. "Yes we can! Yes we can," Panamas fans chanted in Spanish through the sixth, down by eight. The game was such a big deal for Panama that Mario Jaramillo, the countrys ambassador to the United States, watched the game. But it was Japan celebrating at the end. Their players smiled and posed for a picture at the mound with their new prize -- the international championship banner. Coach Junji Hidaka would rather his team not rely so much on the long ball come Sunday, "We only scored on home runs today, I would advise the players not to try for more homers" Sunday, Hidaka said. "We need to string our hits together." Panama committed four errors on the day, including two in the second that led to another Japan run. Still, Panama showed signs of keeping up with Japans powerful offence after Castros double made it 4-2 in the second. Ishida shut them down from there and didnt allow a base runner over his final 2 1-3 innings. "It was a difficult game against a good pitching team," manager Luis Gonzalez said. "The team had confidence after scoring in the first inning but (two errors in the second) really stopped our momentum." A traditional World Series powerhouse, Japan has won the international bracket five times in the past seven years. But it has won the World Series title game only once during that span, in 2010. cheap jerseys from china. -- Anna Goodman claimed a slalom silver medal at the Canadian Championship on Sunday in her last race before retiring.

WINNIPEG -- One of the front men for the NHL Players Association says he doesnt know how fans will react when he skates on the ice this month in the first game of the season. Winnipeg Jets defenceman Ron Hainsey was NHLPA executive director Donald Fehrs sidekick for much of the lockout as a player representative in the talks with the owners. He understands the frustration some fans have felt. "Were sorry we couldnt get it done on time," he said after his first skate in Winnipeg since the dispute ended. "But now our focus has to be on putting on a great 48 games and putting on a great Stanley Cup playoff and helping everyone forget we went down this road." Hainsey said the players may appreciate what their representatives went through to get the deal done, but thats where it stops. "The public perception of it is going to be negative, because we took the game four months past where the season should have been started," he said. "Its up to us, the players, to go out there and put the best season we can on for the fans." As someone who spent most of his time in New York during the dispute, he also didnt have the same opportunities to skate with other players as they tried to stay game ready. "I havent been skating with a group of players, Ive been mostly skating by myself, which is more miserable than skating with players, believe me, so I was more than excited to get out there," he said. Ironically, while most players on the ice Wednesday were still wearing NHLPA jerseys, Hainsey was in standard Winnipeg Jets issue. "Dumb luck, we were out of NHLPA jerseys," he said. Jets netminder Ondrej Pavelec also turned up for the first time to issue an apology to fans and the team for his impaired driving conviction last year in his native Czech Republic. Even the Jets ownership didnt know he had been charged until his conviction became public, after they signed him to a new contract. Pavelec says he was scared and told only his parents, even his agent didnt know. "It was stupid, thats for sure," he said of the incident. He has already discussed the issue with Jets general manager Kevin Cheveldayoff and expects to have another chat with team owner Mark Chipman. "We met yeesterday for quite a length of time," said Cheveldayoff.dddddddddddd"Certainly from a organizational standpoint, I re-iterated to him the seriousness of what he did and how we view that, and we certainly dont condone those type of actions. "We going to help him grow from this and hopefully there can be some good that can come out it it, at some point in time, where Ondrej has learned from it and other people can learn from it as well." New backup goaltender Al Montoya was at the rink Wednesday and says hes happy to finally join the team he signed with as a free agent six months ago. "Wanting to play in Winnipeg, wanting to play hockey in Canada and experience this, it was tough," said the former New York Islander. "My main focus right now is to help this team win." He spent the lockout in his native Chicago, skating with players there. Jets defenceman Dustin Byfuglien was on the ice Wednesday, looking a lot leaner than some might have expected, although as usual, he laughed off requests to disclose his weight. "You guys always want to know that, youll never get it," he said. At six-foot-five and a listed weight of 265 pounds, he will never look like the average lean NHL player, but he also posted 53 points last season in 66 games. And despite being in perhaps better shape than usual, he said its still not the same as playing. "Being in the gym a little bit longer and stuff, doing different things, I think Im in better shape that way, but once you start going and battling and playing, its totally different," he said. Byfuglien wasnt worried about winning back the fans in Winnipeg. "The fans are going to be great. This is probably one of the better buildings to play in. The fans dont get any better than they are here." Cheveldayoff says he doesnt expect a backlash, as Winnipeg hockey fans have always shown great patience. "They waited a long time to get NHL hockey back, unfortunately they had to have a three month hiatus," said Cheveldayoff. "I wouldnt say were taking anything for granted. We feel for the fans, they want to see us play, and Im happy that were moving in that direction. Were going to give the fans what they wanted." ' ' '
