Please be sure to thank our existing sponsors and identify

potential new sponsors for the league.  There should be several

announcements in the next few weeks.  Please check back on the

website for updates.

The 12's played a great game, beating Menlo Atherton 10 -0 in a rematch of their

first tournament game.  They had redemption on their minds and definitely followed

 through.  The bats were hot and the pitching and defense were amazing.

12's Fall to Hillsborough 

The RCNLL 12's faced a tough Hillsborough team and were defeated 16-0.  The

Hillsborough squad showed strong hitting with 7 homeruns.  Kenney Belanger

collected the only RCNLL hit.  The Hillsborough pitching was stingy with only

three walks and striking out five.  Daniel Molinari, Liam Clifford, Jarrett

Crowell and Ben Sehl all made appearances on the mound.  The next game is

against Menlo-Atherton Friday July 3rd at 7:30 in Belmont.

12's Open with win against MA

RCN came out swinging against Menlo Atherton in the 12 year old game in Belmont. 

RCN amassed a 5 to 0 lead after 3 innings due to solid hitting up and down the

order, capped by a 2 run homer by Ben Sehl.  MA rallied for 2 runs in the bottom

of the 3rd.   Both teams were scoreless in the 4th, then RCN added a run in the

top of the 5th.  MA responded with 3 runs on a leadoff solo homer and some

timely hitting.  Kenney Belanger provided some insurance with a two out solo

homer in the sixth, but MA wouldn't go quietly as they scored a run in the bottom

of the sixth and had runners on 1st and 2nd when Matt Odell caught the final out

on a deep fly to right center.

Kenny Belanger, Emma Wangsness and Jarrett Crowell threw well for RCN from

the mound, while Kenny 2 for 4 (hr, rbi), Jarrett 2 for 3 (BB, rbi), Liam Clifford

3 for 4 ( 3b, rbi) and Ben Sehl 1 for 2 (HR, 2 rbi) lead the offensive attack.

 Jamie Kruger's clutch 2 rbi double with two outs in the fifth and

Renic Sloan's terrific outing on the mound were not quite enough for

the RCN 9-10's to hold off Palo Alto.  A four run top of the sixth

was too much for the Redwood City boys to overcome after all the

heroics of the day before.

Renic Sloan hurled three shutout innings to start the game as RCN

tallied two in the bottom of the first on a double by Tony Masetti,

single by Ben Simon, rbi ground out by Dylan Yapp and double by

Troy Siegler.  RCN added two more in the third on doubles by Jamie,

Ben S, a walk to Dylan, and an rbi single by Taylor Dawley to build a

4 to 0 lead.

Palo Alto used a walk and four hits to build a five run inning in the 5th.

The PA batters seemed to aim the ball just beyond the desperate reach

of the RCN fielders.  Being used to rallying from behind, RCN got singles

by Jamie and Tony and Ben's grounder was misplayed at first to score a run. 

After Troy hustled to first to avoid a double play on his grounder, Ben S

snuck home for the go-ahead run on a wild pitch.

Palo Alto worked a walk and single into the tieing run in the top of the fifth,

but a walk to Nico Rollandi, single by Kyle Pruhsmeier and Jamie's double

had the RCN team ready for victory.

Ben Knupfer got the first out on a comebacker, but Palo Alto used two walks,

two singles, a hit batter and a double to take the lead.  Not giving up, Dylan

Yapp hit a drive to left center that was snared on a fantastic diving catch.

Troy was able to reach base, but the next two hitters were retired by the

firstbaseman.

The boys should a lot of talent, determination and maturity during the

tournament and certainly represented our league and the city well.

9-10's win Thriller in Palo Alto 

The RCNLL 9-10's withstood assault after assault from an outstanding Alpine

League team to win a thrilling 16 to 15 eight inning heart stopper in Palo Alto.

The cliche that it is never over until it is over ran true for the RCNLL squad

and has them advancing to a Monday night game at 7:30.  The wild game saw

ten pitchers appear on the mound and took over three hours to complete.  The

players from both teams should be congratulated on outstanding efforts.

Trailing 15 to 12 in the bottom of the eighth, the courageous boys from

Redwood City never quit and were rewarded with an amazing victory.  Tony

Masetti worked a one out walk, Ben Simon singled, and Dylan Yapp reached on

a fielder's choice to score a run. Taylor Dawley singled just past the diving

 reach of the Alpine shortstop for another run.  Ben Knupfer singled to tie

the game and push Taylor to third as the noise from the cheering Redwood City

could be heard at Kiwanis.   On the first pitch to Kyle Pruhsmeier, the ball

escaped the catcher's grasp and Taylor scampered home with the winning run

as the RCN celebration began.

Jamie Kruger threw three strong innings, allowing only two runs, against a

lineup that had scored 27 times in its last game.  RCN got five hits in their

first three at bats, Tony Masetti, Ben Simon, Ken Knupfer, and Troy Siegler

but couldn't get an rbi hit to post a crooked number on the scoreboard.

Kyle Pruhsmeier stuggled with his control and Alpine posted a six spot in

the top of the fourth for an 8- 0 lead before Ken Knupfer  could close the

inning for RCN.  Ben then reached on an error and Heitel coaxed a walk

before Jamie Kruger belted a two run double.

Ben Simon allowed a double before striking out the next two hitters.  RCN

then showed great defense on a 2-5-1 pickup of the runner from third.

The RCN squad had Ben Simon start the frame with a double to left, Dylan

Yapp had an infield single,  and Taylor Dawley worked a walk to load the

bases.  Ben Knupfer's grounder was bobbled for a run and walks to Kyle

Pruhsmeier and Matt Heitel plated three runs.  The RCN crowd errupted

when Matt Baeza smashed a two run single to give them a 9 to 8 lead.  Jamie

Kruger and Dylan Yapp added rbi singles.

The hard hitting Alpine team battled back to take a 12 to 11 lead in the top

 of the sixth on two doubles, three walks and a single.  RCN was down to its

last strike before Matt Baeza walked and eventually scored on a wild pitch.

Two and a hour hours into the game and nothing had been decided.

Ben S retired Alpine without scoring in the seventh but had reached his pitch

count.  Walks to Ben K and Matt H were wasted when Matt B popped up.

Matt Heitel came in to throw the eighth and allowed two walks, a double and

a single for three runs, but stuck out a hitter to keep RCN's hopes alive.

Thanks should be given to all the Palo Alto Tournament staff for keeping the

game moving and providing water to the boys on each team.  The umpires also

did a great job.

 RCN 9-10's fall to San Carlos

The Redwood City 9-10's lost to a strong San Carlos team 13 to 6.  Falling behind 

9-0 in the first inning, RCNLL continued to fight the entire game.  Tony Masetti,

Renic Sloan and Ben Knupfer pitched in relief and kept the RCNLL hopes alive.

A walk to Matt Heitel, double by Taylor Dawley and perfect bunt by Matt

Baeza produced two RCNLL runs in the 2nd.  Ben Simon doubled, Dylan Yapp 

walked, Ben Knupfer singled to right and Nico Rollandi circled the bases when

the San Carlos rightfielder dropped his sacrifice fly.  RCNLL had lots of other 

baserunners with hits by Ben S, Dylan Yapp and Nico and walks to Renic, Dylan

and Kyle Pruhsmeier but they couldn't push across any other runs.  Renic, Jamie Kruger

and Troy Siegler all also added hits.  The next game is Sunday July 5th at noon.  

The Redwood City 9-10's defeated Menlo Atherton in a hard fought battle 8 to 6 in Palo Alto.  Jamie Kruger pitched four strong innings, allowing 4 runs on three hits and 5 walks.  Kyle Pruhsmeier pitched the 5th and Ben Simon closed out a heart attack but scoreless sixth to seal the game.

After MA tallied twice in the first, Jamie Kruger answered with a homerun over the leftfield fence.  Ben S reached, Kyle and Renic Sloan walked and Matt Heitel had an rbi infield single to tie the game.  Each team was scoreless in the second, with Matt Baeza making a J.T. Snowlike stop to end the MA 2nd.  MA was scoreless again in the 3rd, but RCN got hits from Taylor Dawley, Tony Masetti and Dylan Yapp to produce a run, Ben Knupfer had an rbi fielder's choice and Matt Baeza boomed an rbi triple and scored on an overthrow for a 6 to 2 lead.

MA answered in the fourth with a walk, an error, two catches by Taylor Dawley in right, and two throwing errors to cut the RCN lead to 6 to 4.   RCN added another run on a single by Ben S and double by Tony.  Kyle allowed a single and three walks to give MA a run in the 5th and another single plated a second run before Ben K threw a strike to Ben S at the plate for the final out.  RCN added another insurance run on singles by Ben K, Matt Baeza and an rbi single by Ben S to enter the sixth with an 8 to 6 lead.

Ben hit a batter and walked two before striking out the side to end the game for the RCN group.  RCN plays again Wednesday July 1st against San Carlos at 7:30.

The 10-11 All Star team faced three tough games in three days and was 

eliminated Monday night.  A tough 6 to 2 loss on Sunday left the boys

tired for Monday's contest.  All the players should be congratulated for

a great effort. 

The 10-11 All Star team started the first three innings very tight and

found themselves down 3 to 0.  A six run rally in the 5th got them in the

lead against a fine Foster City team.  Brandon Moose started things off

being hit by a pitch, AJ Hamer, Bryan Knapp, Alexii Sigona, Blake

Carbonneau and Scudder Stockwell all had hits to score runs.   Foster

City tied the game in the bottom of the 5th.  Alexii pitched well through

the 5th, relieved by Bryan to keep RCN in the game.  Bryan hit a two run

homer in the top of the sixth for an 8 to 6 lead.  Will Jordan closed out

the last two outs (with a FC steal of home) to maintain the 8 to 7 win.

The Minors Super Bowl team took on the defending champion Hillsborough team.  Although their bats were stymied for most of the game, the underdog RC National squad staged a dramatic comeback and nearly pulled off a stunning upset.  After falling behind 11 to 3, the Nationals ralled to score five in the bottom of the sixth and brought the tying run to the plate with only one out. 

Sean Clark's booming triple knocking in two runs to get the rally started.  A Jack Wangsness hit knocked in a key run and Campbell Soutter's second hit plated another.  With the Redwood City fans going crazy in the stands, Hillsborough finally squelched the rally to prevail 11 to 8.  Kevin Hansen had two hits, scored two runs and pitched two scoreless innings to keep the Nationals within striking distance.

 Thank you to John Crowell and his coaching staff for getting the boys ready to play and ensuring they had a good time.

The Majors Super Bowl team lost their tournament game.  More details to follow.  Thank you to Robert DeRossi and Glen Matsuda for preparing the boys for the tournament.

Matt Baeza started the game and pitched two innings.  Kevin Hansen, the one pitch wonder of Tuesday night, took the ball in the third and held Harry's to on run on three hits in the final four innings.  Tony Masetti hit a booming triple for an rbi in the first inning to jumpstart the offense and Gino Buranzon cracked a double in the 2nd.

AH took a 2-0 lead after the first inning.  Pearl Law tied it in the top of the second.  AH came back to score 3 in the bottom of the 2nd to take a 5-2 lead.  Pearl erupted for five runs in the 4th with some timely hitting and aggressive baserunning to take a 7 - 5 lead.  Jack Wangsness came in to pitch in the 2nd with the bases loaded and one out and got out of the inning without allowing a run.  He struck out 5 in the 3rd and 4th to keep the game in Pearl's reach.  AH scored a run in the 5th to close to 7 to 6.  Matt Baeza closed out the 5th and survived a wild bottom of the sixth.  He walked the first two hitters, then struck out the next two.  A wild pitch advanced the runners to 2nd and 3rd.  After another walk to load the bases, Matt ran out of pitches with a full count on the next hitter.  Kevin Hansen came in, delivered one pitch for a called strike three and the Pearl Law celebration began.

Travis Ruso and Riley Thompson made awesome defensive plays.  Jack Wangsness, Kevin Hansen and Gino Buranzon lead the offense for Pearl.

Redwood City National is organizing Fall Ball teams for September 2009.

The Fall Ball season starts after Labor Day and plays on Saturdays until November.

Please watch for more details at the picnic.  A flyer will be available in the Handouts section. 

Please e-mail RWCSammons@aol.com if you have an interested player, COACH, or SPONSOR for the Juniors program.

A flyer is available in the  Handouts section.

The Redwood City National Juniors defeated Half Moon Bay 6 to 1 to win the District 52 Juniors Tournament.  Brian Clifford threw 93 pitches in six innings to put RCN in position to win.  HMB got several runners, but Brian managed to keep them from getting any key rbi hits.  Brian scored the first run of the game by singling, stealing second and scoring on an Anthony Hillerby single.  Anthony tripled in a run in the third and scored on a wild pitch.  Josue Lopez waled in the sixth and scored on Gabe Naverette's single to left.  Nick Gasparini closed out the seventh on the mound for RCN to seal the win and start the victory celebration for Nationals.

 The RCNLL 12 Year old Majors All-Stars battered Pacifica 14 to 1 in their second game.  Jeremi McIntryre bashed two grandslams and Casey McDonald added a homer for RCN.

Majors All-Stars fall to San Mateo American

At Selby Lane, Western Allied took on McGraw (Highlanders # 1)  McGraw jumped to 4 to 0 and 7 to 1 leads before Western Allied got key hits from Tyler Ikeda and Caylen Tronson to come all the way back for an 8 to 7 win.  The pitching of Garrett Matsuda, Garrett Marcan and Ben Simon limited McGraw to one hit.

Congratulations to Donut King for clinching first place and the top seed in the City Tournament.  What a great season when five teams have double digit wins and are still in competition for the City Tournament going into the last week of the season.  Thank you for a great job of coaching to all the Managers and Coaches.
