Mountain View Little League will be bringing a world championship back to Scottsdale, beating Aruba 9-1 Saturday in the Junior League (13-14) World final in Taylor, Mich.

Grant Martinez and Ryan Riggs combined on a two-hitter for MVLL, which won 23 straight games in the postseason including a win over Indiana earlier in the day for the USA title. They had just five hits in the title game but took advantage of four errors by Aruba, the International champions.

The Scottsdale team jumped on top early with a four-run second inning, three coming on a home run by Jimmy Ditroia. Michael DeRegis had a double in the inning.

MVLL blew open the game in the fifth. Jake Anderson had a one-out single, followed by a DeRegis double. Duncan Morfitt drove in a run with a groundout, and Michael Salazar put an exclamation point on the game and the season with a two-run homer.
