WEST CHESTER, PA – The Keystone 11 All-Stars used some extra-inning magic to post a 2-1, seven-inning win over West Point in a Sunday elimination game at the state Little League championships in West Chester.

The win, after a first-round Saturday loss to Abington, keeps Keystone alive in the double-elimination event. Next up is a Monday 6:15 p.m. game against the winner of a Sunday game between East Side and CR-Newtown.

Keystone and West Point were scoreless through six innings of regulation play on Sunday. Then Keystone pushed across two runs in the top of the seventh. Ehan Nestor singled and scored on a triple from Chase Karstetter. Then Karstetter came home on a sacrifice fly from Mack Packer.
