Sign-ups underway for Fall Ball season
July 6 signaled the end of the 2016 Little League baseball campaign for local All Stars, as the Cloverdale 9-10 year-old squad was bounced from District 35 Tournament action.
The CLL All Stars opened the District 35 tournament (hosted by Rincon Valley) on July 1, emerging from a pitcher’s duel to beat Willits 5-1.
The bats erupted in second round action the following day, putting on a hitting clinic in a 17-7, four-inning romp over Ukiah.
The CLL stars finally met their match in a July 3 meeting with Petaluma American, running into strong pitching to suffer their first tournament loss, 10-0.
Cloverdale took on host Rincon Valley in a win-or-go-home clash on July 6, falling 13-1 to end their tournament run.
The CLL 9-10 team was led by manager Ian Jones and coaches Thomas Beeson and Bobby Huls.
Players included Nicholas Beeson, Diesel Cavallo, Carson Clark, Emilio Diaz, Corbin Drake, Alexander Hanes, Jordan Huls, Kolby Jenkins, Dylan Jones, Jason Moffett, Rylee Reasoner, Taylor Vann and Jackson Wurz.
