In case you would like a second opinion on the game recap... (I still can't seem to figure out how to include a link in the copy section here, but if you click on the title of this post it will take you to the Register coverage. haha!)

Game 3 Recap

Another outstanding defensive game for the Napa National All Stars. Our hitting, and the East Vallejo fielding errors, certainly contributed to the win (:>), but keeping East Vallejo to just one run was a combination of some fantastic pitching by Juan Carlos and Gabriel, and some amazing fielding throughout the game. Play of the game, for me, without a doubt, was Gabriel's throw from center field to first to make the out. It was a perfectly fluid fielding play, and the kind of defensive stop that had to completely deflate East Vallejo. If you can't get a single out of a great hit to center, things are going to be frustrating. Offensively, twice our great base running drew the play away from home to score runs, and were enabled by some key hits by Juan Carlos in the second, Joe, Hayden and MJ in the third, and Hayden and Dahlen in the fifth. The boys play their next game vs. Fairfield Pacific on Satruday at 1:00pm. See you there!

District 53 Finals Brackets

Here is the bracket for the District Finals, just posted about an hour ago (if I've done this correctly, the title of this post is now a live link to the bracket site.) For those of you following not just our boys, but Napa ball in general, that FOUR OF SIX of Napa's teams - across the three age divisions - are playing in the District Finals. I am immensely proud of the Napa National Boys, but also tremendously proud of what Napa Little League is doing this year. GO NAPA!!!!!
