Infielder Mason Stewart of Easley forces a Southeast player out at second during the S.C. District 1 team’s 1-0 Big League World Series loss last week at the J.B. “Red” Owens Complex in Easley. The host squad finished a disappointing 2-2 in this year’s series, which wrapped up on Tuesday night with a championship showdown between the U.S. West team of Maui Big League All-Stars and the Chinese Taipei team representing the Asia-Pacific region televised on ESPN. Results from the game were unavailable at press time. Kerry Gilstrap/Courier
