Turlock American Little League : Welcome

-PLEASE CONTINUE TO CHECK BACK FOR UPDATES!!! 

This week in Turlock American Little League (thru 5/18)

Week 11 –With one week to go, there are 3 Majors teams (Tigers, Royals, and Indians) that have clinched a playoff spot (at least according to my math) but the final one is up for grabs.

The Tigers Silas Fredeen drove home the winning run in the bottom of the 7^th on Wednesday Night as the Tigers defeated the Twins 6-5 and likely claimed the number one spot!  

After that loss, the Twins managed to keep their heads up and came back on Saturday Night ready to play as they outdueled the Rangers 2-1 in the late game as Joe Romeo hit his 5th blast for the Twins.  Coincidentally both teams are vying for the that 4^th playoff spot, both have twin records at 10-7 and twin schedules this coming week as they both meet up with the Royals who have already clinched a spot with their 12-4 record after they defeated the Yankees 8-1 on Monday Night.  The Royals will be rested after a full 7 days off as they take on the Twins on this coming Tuesday night.  

The Indians seem to have forgotten what sport it is they are playing after scoring 40 points (runs) in two games this week but it may have been over the top when they went for the two point conversion (jk) after each of their two grand slams on Thursday Night by Cameron Sherwood and Marcus Garza!    The Yankees split the week, but on Friday Night home run leader Casey Carr hit his 8^th home run into paved Julien paradise, as he put the ball in the soon to be parking lot.  

In the Minors, the RiverCats proved that they could be beaten – well at least for 4 innings -as the Thunder’s Cooper Carr kept them scoreless until pitch count became an issue and the RiverCats rallied to score the final 10 runs in a 10-2 victory.  The RiverCats finished the week Friday Night with a 10 run victory 14-4. 

The Bulls charged into the playoffs as if they were avoiding a swarm with a 9-4 victory over the Bees and are now 10-3.  The Bees may have lost their sting after Red Wings flew by them on Wednesday Night 14-6.  But the Red Wings did not fly far as the Thunder won its’ final game of the season 13-6 over these same Red Wings.

As far as definitive playoffs, there are 2 for sure Minor teams in the playoffs as the Rockhounds, Lugnuts, Hot Rods and IronBirds are all vying for the 3^rd and 4^th spots.

The Rockhounds and IronBirds had a thrilling tie as the two teams copied each other almost inning for inning as they ended up 9-9.  The Hot Rods were cooled off by Lugnuts 16-3 on Thursday evening with the help of 9 year old Ashton Baucom's over the fence home run, but the Knights playing another day game scored 10 runs and loosened the Lugnuts grip on locking in a playoff spot with their 10-4 victory on Saturday.

Nice to see the flag and flag pole donated by a Majors Coach – (working on the light).
