A weather-altered Game 10 of the 2026 Printscape PONY League World Series ended dramatically as West Covina, California earned a 5-3 walk-off victory over Hidalgo, Texas.

Originally scheduled for seven innings, the matchup between the West Zone and South Zone champions began several hours later than scheduled following earlier rain delays. With daylight and additional weather concerns affecting the remainder of the schedule, the game was shortened to five innings.

The lead grew an inning later when Corzantes connected on an 0-2 pitch and sent a solo home run over the left-field fence, extending West Covina’s advantage to 3-0.

With the fifth inning serving as the final scheduled frame, Hidalgo mounted a comeback.

Josiah Ruiz started the rally with a solo home run to left field on an 0-2 count, cutting West Covina’s lead to 3-1. Hidalgo continued to battle and eventually erased the remainder of the deficit, tying the game at 3-3 and forcing West Covina to answer in the bottom half.

West Covina did exactly that.

With the game tied in the bottom of the fifth, Corzantes delivered again, driving in the final two runs to complete the 5-3 walk-off victory. He finished 2-for-2 with three RBIs out of the eighth spot in the West Covina lineup, accounting for three of his team’s five runs.

Aaron Morales provided a complete-game effort on the mound for West Covina, working all five innings while allowing three runs on five hits. He struck out eight and walked just one.

Robert Lozano started for Hidalgo and pitched 1⅔ innings, allowing three runs, two earned, on two hits. He struck out one without issuing a walk.

Ruiz led Hidalgo with three RBIs, while Diego Puente, Oziel Garcia, Ruiz, Lozano and Adrian Delgado each recorded a hit.

West Covina also played error-free defense, with Jeremy Jimenez recording a team-high 10 defensive chances.

After waiting through weather delays just to take the field, West Covina built an early three-run advantage, watched Hidalgo erase it in the final scheduled inning and then responded with the decisive swing. Corzantes’ two-run walk-off capped the 5-3 victory and sent the West Zone champions forward in the 2026 Printscape PONY League World Series.
