UPDATE 7/25: Our Big League Team narrowly lost yesterday against Southern California District 13 in their Western Region Final game. They lost by 1 run (NV-3 South CA-4) in another tight game. This places the Team in 2nd Place for Western Region Finals but ends their season for the year.  The Southern California Team from Thousand Oaks goes forward to the Big League World Series in Easly, South Carolina. The World Series begins this coming Wednesday, 29 July 2009.

Our Pitching/Fielding must have been great as the Team held SoCal to only 4 runs, their lowest production of the Tournament. SoCal must have also had a great Pitching/Fielding Combination as we were also held to our lowest run production of the Tournament.  

In the Consolation game for 3rd place, Arizona beat Hawaii handily (AZ-4 HA-0).

Our Team returns home tonight to McCarren.

UPDATE 7/24: Our Big League Team triumphed again yesterday against Arizona District 2 in their Semi-Final game!  They won by 1 run (NV-8 AZ-7)in another tight game. This places the Team in Western Region Finals against Southern California District 13 today.  Southern California beat Hawaii soundly yeasterday in the other Semi-Final game (South CA-7, HA-1).

Arizona will play Hawaii in the Consolation game for 3rd place at 4PM.  Our Team will then take on Southern California for the Championship at 7PM.  Great Luck to our Big League Champions !!!
