Little League baseball: Ottumwa brings state title home

ALBIA — From a diving catch that led to a game-ending double play to a go-ahead hit that would up clearing the bases.

In his wildest dreams, Christian McElroy never dreamed of making plays like the ones he's made throughout the course of the postseason for the Ottumwa 12-year-old Little League baseball team. McElroy and the rest of his teammates will get to live out another dream later this month after coming from behind for a 9-6 win over Appanoose County on Wednesday in the Iowa District 7 championship game.
