Turlock Thunder also went 2-0 and outscored our opponents 21-2. We don't have a Man-Boy but the team played hard and came away with the wins. Houser was stroking the ball well and blasted a bomb. We play the other undefeated team at 9 in the morning. Good luck Rangers on Sunday.
So sad for RP as they got booted....great run tho. I was bummed as I really wanted to see the District 10 in Williamsport.

might I add the two teams were boys...one new team from Las Banos playing in their first tournament (this being our second) and the other team was OTF from Fresno whom we beat in our first tournament as well. Its all about not walking people...as you know a walk is as good as a triple or maybe an inside the park homer. Time for work...yuck..later

You guys are hilarious ;D ;D . I assume the meeting is at the same time and same place for the board meeting.
Good luck to all of the travel ball teams in Turlock. Sounds like the teams are doing well.

It sucks that it was Rivrpark's forst loss and they have to go home. LL's pledge is "fair"... where's the fair n that. The AZ team had one loss too. They should have played another game, winner take all. I understand they did not play another game b/c of lack of "air time?" WTH?

Are you serious? Air time? BTW - Arizona's 1 loss was to RP (3-1)

So they split games w/ each other and AZ goes to PA? Oh yeah, that's fair...

Is little league going to consider moving the mound back? When every little league game on tv you watch the kid has 12 plus strike outs, you gotta think it is an unfair advantage to the pitcher. I seriously thought the hitters on many teams looked terrible, swinging at pitches so far off the plate, high or in the dirt but then realized that they have about a split second to react to a 75 mph 13 year old pitching from 46 feet. The kid from Missiouri hit 82 mph from 46 feet, that is deadly and if the kid has any type of movement on the ball or an off speed pitch...forget it.
Also, the fence could be moved back to 240-250 as well so you dont have oops swings going over the fence. It would be more exciting and the kids would learn more if the ball actually got in play more and stayed in play more.
River Park had the better team and better talent, Arizona had the better player and in LL Baseball a super stud can win you a game by himself.

One more thing.... if you have a kid throwing 75 plus, as an umpire, you better not give him the strike off the plate like they have been doing in games. Catchers are reaching across there bodies and catching pitches outside low that are being called for strikes. Kids dont even have a chance at the plate.
Is it just me or do the pitchers work extremely fast too. DO the networks tell them to work fast becasue of tv coverage or is that typical. Are we too used to MLB pitchers taking there time? Just feels like all the kids are rushing on the mound. Guess you dont have to hold runners on, but still seems fast. Games remind me a lot of women's softball.
Just my opionion.

I would add that safety should predicate a move to 50 feet. These new bats place pitchers at a serious risk. We have a couple of kids in our league who next year could really hurt someone.
