Western Region Junior (13-14) Baseball: Mountain View Wins Championship!!!!

|
| 2009 Western Region Junior Baseball Champions
|
|
Mountain View beat Hawaii's Hilo American/National LL 3-0 to win the Western Region Championship. MVLL now moves on to the Junior Little League World Series in Taylor, Michigan. MVLL will join 11 of the best teams in the world to pursue a World Championship. MVLL is only the second Arizona team to make it to Junior Little League World Series, the first from District 6, and the first from Phoenix.
MVLL locked down Hawaii and held them to only 2 hits. Grant Martinez pitched 5 scoreless innings and kept Hawaii's power hitters off balance and guessing. Cody Erickson closed the game out with power and awesome control to claim MVLL's first Western Regional Championship. MVLL scored on Luc Trotta's stand up double and aggressive base running from both Lucas Jacobi and Ryan Riggs. MVLL capitalized on two miscues by Hawaii to move runners around and score. With the score 1-0, MVLL added two more runs with RBI's from Grant Martinez and Michael Salazar. MVLL's defense was solid and every position was played with confidence and anticipation. Key defensive plays by Jimmy DeTroia, and Zach Janikis kept potential scoring rallies from Hawaii empty.
This victory was a complete team effort, regardless who was at bat or at what position, MVLL was going to make it happen. This game by far demonstrated a complete team effort. Manager Erickson and Coaches Trotta and DiTroia have done a great job in keeping the kids loose, focused and determined. Steve Erickson said it best, "This is a special team, with a common goal." MVLL went 18 - 0 during this run.
MVLL was cheered by not only family and friends from Arizona, but by the home league and district. MVLL was complimented by how well the kids maintained composure, discipline, and demonstrated class on and off the field. MVLL will now leave on Friday night to Taylor, Michigan to represent the West. The will start play on Monday, Aug 17th vs USA Central (team still to be determined). MVLL will play 4-games in pool play with the top 2 USA teams facing off to play the International Champ. Updates, and web casting of the games will be available through http://www.littleleague.org/series/2009divisions/jlbb/series.htm web site.
Thanks to Rene Salazar for this and all of his previous updates.

Peter Fletcher and Colton Mills combined on a 2-hitter as Mountain View bounced back from yesterday's heartbreaking loss to defeat the Idaho State Champions from Post Falls, 4-0. Idaho threatened only once, but Fletcher, Mills and solid play by the MVLL defense throttled the Post Falls offense all night. Nick DeRegis hit a 2-run double and Skylar Smith plated DeRegis in the first to give Fletcher and Mills all the run support they would need.
DeRegis scored again in the 4th after doubling into the ivy-lined left center field wall, and Adam Bloom went 2-2 to pace the nine hit MVLL offense. The Arizona Champs now await the results of Saturday and Sunday pool play games that will determine Monday night's semi-finalists from Pool B.

MRLL finished pool play with a 4-2 record, and tied for 2nd place. But PV North finished 4-2 (1 of those victories was over MRLL) too tonight in pool play with a victory over Prescott Valley. Only the top two teams of a 7 team pool advance to the State semi finals, and PV North's victory gives them the nod to the semi finals based on a runs allowed and defensive innings ratio. McCormick Ranch came so close and finished Districts & State with a 9-3 record...something to very proud of. |

The Rocketmen season came to an end last night with a 2-0 loss to Yuma. As the score indicates it was a great pitching duel. The Rocketmen started the game off with a lead-off walk but could do no more damage in the first inning. Yuma was held scoreless through the first three innings and then scored 2 in the bottom of the 4th. The Rocketmen got a man to third in the top of the 5th but could not get him in. The Rocket men then got a man on in the 6th and brought the tying run to the plate but just could not punch through the Yuma pitching and defense.
I could not be more proud of the boys and the coaching staff. It was a great run and a great way to spend a summer that I am sure no one will soon forget. The team handled themselves with class and dignity beyond their years!

The Rocketmen reignited the main thrusters and got the hyperdrive working. They rocketed back from last night’s tough loss with a statement win. Facing District 4’s San Manuel (SMLL), the Rocketmen’s first three batters scored, and all nine batters made a trip to the plate on the way to a four run first inning. NSLL never looked back on the way to a 17-5 victory, that was called after four innings. Hitting was impressive throughout the lineup, the pitching was solid, and was backed by an error free defense. Rocketmen are now 2-1 in pool play with 3 more games to play, top 4 teams in each pool move on to single game elimination bracket play starting next Tuesday. |

Rocketmen lose a heartbreaker, 6-4 in 8 innings.Rocketmen and Canyon Del Oro played what is unquestionably the best game of the state tournament so far. Canyon Del Oro came out firing and were up 4-0 after 4 ½, when the Rocketmen bats came alive in the bottom of the fifth and scored 4 to tie the game. Rocketmen had their chances in regulation but just couldn’t get the game winner across. Canyon Del Oro scored two runs in the top of the 8th. The Rocketmen had their chances and got the tying run to the plate in the bottom of the inning but the ball just didn’t bounce their way and Canyon Del Oro’s defense held tight again and ended the game with a close double play.
