Rain delays pushed the Little League District 5 Championship game to Saturday, but that did not keep West from beating East for the second time in a row.

Warner Robins East played their way out of the loser's bracket after fall to West on Tuesday.

Leyton Pinckney had three home runs and helped West to the 19-0 victory.  The win marked the first time West has advanced to the state tournament.

"I felt like for us we were patient at the plate, made sure we got pitches we could hit and then our pitching and defense was fantastic," said West head coach Martin Pinckney.  "Our goal was to pitch well and play good defense and that's what I'm most proud of today."

West starts play in the state tournament next Saturday.
