U6

WebAssign Blue Dolphins vs. Piedmont Purple Ponies: It was a cold morning on Saturday when the Piedmont Purple Ponies battled the Blue Dolphins, but the excitement of the play kept everyone warm. Batting was kept hot by the talents of Brighid Mahoney and Lucy Sacco. Fielding was blistering with Cambria Restagno holding the Ponies’ back. Rose Wallis and Katy Hosokawa also made key plays tagging runners out and keeping the braying of the Ponies to a minimum. The game ended with the Blue Dolphins swimming in at the end for a tie.

 U8

Harbor Bay Realty Blue Dynamite, 6 vs. Oakland Pink Panthers, 6: The Blue Dynamite had a great time playing the well-matched Pink Panthers on their home turf. This 2-inning game was strictly an offensive one with all but one out due to strikeouts. Fiona Rogers had the only defensive play of the game with a self-fielded out at 3rd base. Nearly every lady Dynamite had a hit at the plate. RBI contributors were Lauren Gaughan, Madeline Roorda, Alyse Nunnally, Jocelyn Ambrosini, and Elizabeth Ekern.

 U10

Dr Johnson & Jolley Royal Dragons, 0 vs. Citizen Canine Black Magic, 2: With the Royal Dragons 18 at bats, Black Magic pitchers Sophia and Mira Piamonte pitched a shut out, with 10 combined strike outs and 5 defensive plays by the strong support of Black Magic defense. A great tag from Hazel Johnson at 3rd to prevent the steal at 3rd base in the 3rd inning. A 1st inning triple by Mira Piamonte and then an RBI by Amy Grimm to score one of the runs. Sydney Williams was solid behind the plate, for an all around great game.

The Alameda Orthopedic & Sports Therapy Green Energy, 11 vs. Coast Guard Cutter Aspen Blue Nose Pitbulls, 0: After striking out the side in the  first, Lizzy Avery blasted an RBI triple. In the second five walks and stolen bases by Chiara Stiger and Nyah Morgan led to a 4 run inning. In the fourth Sarah McCarthy made a stellar play at second throwing out the lead batter. The Energy went on to shut out the Pitbulls 11-0.

Coast Guard Cutter Aspen Blue Nosed Pitbulls, 18 vs Piedmont, 5: The Coast Guard Cutter Aspen, 10U, Blue-Nosed Pitbulls beat a very competitive team from Piedmont by a score of 18-5.  The Pitbull's offense was stoked by a booming triple to right field from Sydney Owyang that was soon followed by another rocket of a triple by Kaitlyn Ogata.  Jane Rausser smashed a single to the outfield, while Hailey Tolbert showed off her defensive as well as offensive skills as she caught a difficult fly ball and then laced a single through the infield.  All four players racked up significant RBI's in this offensive gem.

McDonald's Central Demon Dogs, 2 vs. Bay Area Children's Theatre Purple Lightning, 9: The Bay Area Children's Theatre Purple Lightning had another great defensive game. Ianna Morris made the long throw from third base to get an two outs at first base. Vivi McKee blocked a fast moving ball and tossed the ball to first to beat the runner for an out. The bats came alive again for the Purple Lightning. Briana St. Dennis and April McCarver both hit doubles. 

12U/14U

Linda C. Avery P.hD. Flaming Cheetos, 8 vs. Oakland Warriors, 0: The Flames travelled to the mainland, and spoke loudly with their bats, baserunning, great fielding and pitching. Cassie Lumpkin’s awesome running catch in center prevented an extra-base hit.  Danielle Moyal had two RBI doubles.  Jackie Smith and Alexis Esparza picked a runner off third with bases loaded to prevent a rally.  Victoria Avery then struck out the side twice to preserve the shutout and send the Flames back to their island home happy.

 Winzler & Kelly Kryptonite, 19 vs. Albany/Berkeley Marvin Gardens, 0: Aliza Newman and Ruby Siltanen were stellar on the mound allowing two hits and no walks.  Sasita Knauer started the hitting with a triple and followed up with a homerun in the third.  Margaret Pendo, Tabitha Zaragoza and Sidney Swain accounted for 8 of 19 Kryptonite hits and 8 RBIs.

Law Offices of Paul Mahler/McDonalds Shoreline Hot Ice, 5 vs Piedmont SWAT, 6: Aggressive base running and good defensive playing just was not quite enough for the Hot Ice team to pull ahead.  Samantha Shaffer and Victoria Avery had solid doubles along with Sarah Mahler, Annie Lynch, Becky McEachern, Meida Tautalatasi, Sally Parsons and Dominque Barrs with singles.  RBI’s by Mahler, Shaffer, Tautalatasi and McEachern.  The Piedmont SWAT had great pitching and kept Hot Ice to a one run lead.
