Minn. team loses Little League World Series consolation game

Kyle Foley scored the go-ahead run after reaching base on an overturned call to lift Ramstein Air Force Base, Germany, past Plymouth, Minn., 2-1 in a Little League World Series consolation game Monday.

Foley was initially called out on a play at first in the fifth. Replay officials reversed the call after manager Gary Harrington challenged in a new wrinkle this year for the World Series replay system.

Foley moved to second on a fielder's choice, then scored on a passed ball.

Minnesota put two runners on with two outs in the sixth, but Jonathan Oswald got Talor Blustin to ground out to end the game.

The Germany team, made up mainly of children of U.S. military or base workers, was serenaded off the field to the theme from the movie "Top Gun."
