Local Little League Team Moves on to California Section 3, Ages 10-11, All-Star Tournament

Newark American Little League—With strong pitching and timely hitting, Newark American Little League (NALL) propelled itself to win Little League Baseball's California District 14's Championship in the 10-11 All-Star Tournament.

NALL scored early over Niles-Centerville Little League (NCLL) and was able to stay ahead of a scrappy NCLL team on July 12.

Tuesday’s game was a winner-takes-all game made necessary after NCLL's win over NALL Monday. Played at Warm Springs Elementary School, home of Warm Springs Little League, the final score was NALL, 5 – NCLL, 3.

While both teams played brilliantly, NALL now advances to Little League Baseball's California Section 3 10-11 All-Star Tournament as the California District 14 representative.

The Section 3 10-11 All-Star Tournament is being hosted by California District 14 and will be played at the fields of Fremont American Little League (FALL) at Marshall Park (located behind Stratford School).

The D14/NALL team's first game will be on Sunday, July 17, at 1 p.m., playing the winner of the District 67 and District 52 game.
