Needing to defeat Torrance twice on Monday night to advance to the Babe Ruth World Series, the Palo Alto 15s came up one game short. After an exciting 5 - 4 win in game one, Palo Alto couldn't quite close the deal with a 6 - 4 loss in game two. Click here to read more about the two games.

Last night's loss completes the Babe Ruth career for the most successful group of players in the history of Palo Alto Babe Ruth. Last night was the third time in three years that this group reached the regional final (including last year's regional championship). Congratulations on a great Babe Ruth career. These boys have made Palo Alto Babe Ruth very proud.
