Belmont Little League All-Star Team Wins Bay Area Championship Game

It's a proud moment for young Belmont baseball players.

The Belmont-Redwood Shores Little League 9/10 All-Star team the Sectional title Thursday night with a 14-1 victory over Manteca, bringing the Belmont players to the state-level championships.

Little League President Mike Davies said he's proud of his 13-member team -- who, before Thursday night's game, had already reached a milestone by being the only Belmont-Redwood Shores Little League All-Star team to advance to the Bay Area championship in 11 years.

Davies credits "outstanding" pitching and solid offense to the success of the 13-member all-star team.

"Their pitching staff is exceptionally deep, and they are a great hitting team," Davies said on Wednesday. “It has been a frustrating experience for any team to compete with their prowess at the plate and on the pitcher's mound. What the boys have accomplished to this point is nothing short of amazing, and we are extremely proud of them."

The Belmont-Redwood Shores Little League 9/10 All-Star team will now go on to represent Section 3 in the NorCal State Championships also held in Danville starting on July 24.
