Another home run derby propelled the Bowling Green East 11- and 12-year-old Little League All-Stars into its third straight state championship game.

Davis Fant had a grand slam and Patrick Forbes and Jake Napier also homered for BG East in a 14-0 win over Clay County in the state semifinals Tuesday night in London.

BG East will play Lexington Eastern in the Kentucky Little League state championship game Wednesday at 6 p.m. CDT in London.
