The Spanish Springs and Rancho teams line up before the opening game.
Eric Holden pitched strong after an error let in two runs in the first. He shut wm down as Rancho was ablle to catch up.
Tanner Oats did real good for 5 innings, then he was replaced with a one run lead in the 6th and it went downhill from there. The reliever walked one, tried to pick him off first with the wild throw putting him on third. Then he walked another and wild pitched a run home with the second walkee on 2nd now. A base hit plated him and end of story 3 to 2 with Rancho moving on.

Desert Oasis 9 - Buckley, Ca 2
This was one win DO needed. The team for California Didn't fare too well against Tom Haley as he controlled the game. The kids from DO did very well as they overcame a loss earlier in the morning.
The little hill behind the baseball field had some fans here to watch their "boys"
A couple of the kids headed for a drink at the concession stand?
I think this is the third baseman? No number on the front of the jersey makes it hard for me to get up to speed for who they are.
Kyle Motis plays second base. He had a pretty good day. I know him from the Wildcats so I have two kids to watch on the DO D-Backs.
Kyle is ready!!!
Jossaiah Raval Hammered the ball.
Brennen Stott, (hmmm I ownder if he is related to Morgan on Silverado?) Gets after it.
Brennen was ready to pop it here.

Desert Oasis 2 - Durango 5
Desert Oasis has Marty who played with my Grandson Hunter on the Wildcats. Desert Oasis is a new shool. Marty is a freshman and the starting catcher on the team. I don't know any names on the team besides his, but will learn them hopefully. This game was tied 2 - 2 until the bottom of the six inning as it was a good game up to that point. With two out in that home side there was 2 outs. A gounder to the pitcher named Dakota was played well and the throw looked like an out. Safe yelled the ump and then three runs were created after that puzzling call. His foot could have come off the base, but form where I was, couldn't tell. Regardless, it made it look like the young DO boys didn't do well, and they certainly did great.
# 5 is alive as he led off the game.

THE SILVERADO HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL TEAM.
This was the state high school playoffs and all Silverado had to do to go to Reno was win two games. They got the first one against long odds and almost took the second.
Silverado 10 - Las Vegas 9
An outstanding game for the Skyhawks as they continued to come from behind. The key to the game for me was when Brian Harper struck out a Silverado player and yelled "BYE YOU". From that point the Silverado boys sucked it up and won on a clutch home run from Braden Keathley. That was exciting!
Dillon Smith looks for the pitch call from the dugout.
Adam Coglin at second.
Jordan Keegan comes running in from center field.
Brian Harper would be the opposing pitcher for this one. He made one serious mistake, yelling "BYE YOU" after a strikeout and it was his unraveling.
Jordan out in the field.
Pierce Belaustegui plays third and hits strong.
Trevor Kirk at shortstop.
This freshman, Brice Harper, is one of the best and played this year with his brother, but may not be at LV next year. He hit a 3 run homer in the first to show off his tremendous power.
This was the score early with LV leading, but hang on.

Silverado 3 - Green Valley 6
It was unfortunate that Silverado had to play Green Valley on the same day. They were pooped, but gave it a real battle and came within a hit or two of winning this one. Everyone went hard and only a good team could beat them.
