Orange Senior Division GamesCongratulations to our Orange Little League Senior Team for their back to back Senior Division District 30 Championship. They beat South East LL in a best of 3 tournament and move on to the Section 5 Tournament beginning Saturday, July 18. This is the second year in a row that these two teams have met at the finals with Orange winning the title!
Most of the boys have played at OLL since their T-ball days. Coached by Tim Vincent and TJ Fierros. Gabe Arias, Spencer Ducheny, Gavin Stoecker, Taylor Stoecker, Chris Johnson, Ian Massey, Ty Dome, Manny Flores, Kohl Kelly, Kyle Baird, Eddie Villa and Keith Hernandez,The Seniors beat Long Beach LL in a close game 5-4 in the first Sec 5 Tournament game July 18. Gavin Stoecker pitched 7 solid (and hot) innings. Ian Massey and Kohl Kelly hit shots to deep center, Chris Johnson had an interesting at bat. "The best strike out he's ever had!", says his dad Bill. Strike 3 was called, but the catcher dropped the ball (drop 3rd strike, no one on 1st...you run!), catcher couldn't find the ball... a run scored and Chris ran to 2nd! Spencer Ducheny made a double play by catching a high fly to right and making a perfect throw to Keith Hernandez at short stop to tag the man out at 2nd who had been leading off. Congratulations to our Senior Team!
