District Teams all get to Final Four

All three District Teams, playing in elimination games on Monday evening, won and moved on to the final four for each of their tourneys.

The 9/10's beat a very good Granada team, closing them out in the 6th, albeit a little stressful, with a final score of 8-6. The SRLL side, behind strong pitching and solid hitting, built an 8-3 lead going into the bottom of the 6th, but Granada would not go away easily, loading the bases and putting up three runs, before a pop-out ended the threat. Great job 9's.

The 10/11's got their offense rolling in a landslide victory over the Granada team, 13-4. Behind three home runs the SRLL side overcame an early 4-0 hole to score 13 unanswered runs and win running away. The SRLL side faces SRV tonight in another elimination game.

The 11'12's with the help of a very strong crowd bested the two-time defending champion Danville Little League team, 7-3. Yes, this was the same team that just last Saturday beat our boys 10-4 and knocked us into the loser's bracket. We were down 3-2 going into the 5th inning, and facing one of the better pitchers in the District. Luckily he hit his pitch count limit and we were able to put up 5 runs in that inning, all with 2 outs, to get the lead for good. Our pitching and defense shut the door after that and got us into the final four.

All three teams play again tonight - in another set of elimination games. Go SRLL!!!
