The Blue Jays came close to avenging an opening-day loss to the Twins but left Israel Rosenblum stranded at third in the bottom of the sixth inning, ending the game in a 4-4 tie in Spreckels Park Little League minor action.
Rosenblum (3 for 3, double) did all he could to erase that tie, lacing a two-out single to right field in the sixth. He stole second and third base only for Twins reliever Jayden Mordes to escape the jam with a strikeout.
The Blue Jays built an early 3-0 lead. Rosenblum (single), Jake O’Neill (walk) and Marcus Davenport (walk) scored after reaching in succession to start the first inning.
The Twins bounced back and took a 4-3 lead on runs by Ryan Fox, Daniel Pardes, Sam Perez (2 for 3) and Carter Thornton.
The Blue Jays tied the game on an RBI double in the fourth inning by Noah Valdivia, driving in Dominic Wilson from first base after he drew a leadoff walk.
