San Carlos American beat Alpine/West Menlo, 6-4, in a winners’ bracket game Tuesday night, July 5, in the District 52 Majors 11-12 Little League All-Star Tournament at Middlefield Ballpark in Palo Alto.
San Carlos American scored three times in the third inning to take the lead and then escaped from jams in the last three innings without giving up any runs.
In the top of the fourth, Alpine seemed to be on the verge of breaking the game open with the bases loaded with just one out. Two outs later, the score remained 5-4 as San Carlos escaped. In the top of the fifth, Alpine, once again left the bases loaded while failing to score.
Alpine had 10 hits and led by 4-2 after two innings. Daniel Austin came on in relief for San Carlos and struck out the side in the third. Austin fanned seven in 2 2/3 innings and Alpine didn’t score again. Ryan Klapper led Alpine with three hits while Harrison Armsby added two.
