They will host Holtville (2) who eliminated the Holtville regular season champs, 9-0. El Centro (1) advanced with their win over Calipatria (1) and will play Brawley (2) in Brawley.
**NOTE**
Originally, Sunbeam (3) was awarded the win last night against Brawley (2) after it was determined that Brawley (2) used an eligible pitcher and forced Brawley (2) to forfeit. However, the ruling was corrected, and both teams were to resume play at the point the ineligible pitcher took the mound. Sunbeam (3), trailing 13-5 at the time, chose to concede the game, advancing Brawley (2).
District 22 will crown a champion on June 18 or 19 if needed. The tournament format is double elimination with the teams on the bottom of the brackets serving as hosts and home teams. All games will begin at 7:00 PM. Click on the link below for brackets.
