Champions Capitola/Soquel Start the Summer For SLV 11-Yr Olds
July 16, 2007 --
The SLV 11-yr olds packed up their bats as the last run crossed the plate to end the season for SLV. Capitola/Soquel beat SLV 7-3 on Monday night, and claimed the 2007 District 39 Championship. In a great effort by both sides, SLV lost the game but won the hearts of their fans. All of the SLV teams played with class and dignity, and all received fantastic support from the SLV community, with many fans appearing at games with passion and pride. At the final game Monday night the fans without family on the team nearly outnumbered those that did. We all salute the players, coaches, managers and team parents!

2007 SLV All Star Results
July 9, 2007 --
<This is the full article submitted to the Press Banner this week. There was not enough room in the paper, and it was edited for space (a hard fact of the publishing world I have no control over).>
submitted by Randy Gordon
The Little League's District 39 All-Star Tournament began this past week, and is currently in full swing with the final games set to be played on or by July 17th. Four competitive divisions are participating in the tournament in age defined divisions. SLV has teams representing the league in all four divisions...9, 10, 11 and 12 year olds. Following is a brief recap of the results from the past week. You can get more details and follow the post-season at www.slvlittleleague.org, including updated brackets, game results and schedule information.
9-Year Olds - Gilroy Sports Complex
Watsonville-American 8, SLV 7
The 9-yr old team opened up the tournament on July 3rd, in a very close game losing 8-7 to the Watsonville-American team. After trailing for 4½ innings, Watsonville-A took the lead with a 3-run inning, giving them a 2-run lead at 7-5. SLV scored 2 runs in the top of the 6th...Mitchell Kamau and Jonathan Davico both scored to tie the game. But Watsonville-American was able to score the winning run in their half of the inning handing the SLV boys their first loss.
SLV 15, Gilroy-American 3
On Saturday SLV faced the Gilroy-American team, who had been beaten 10-0 by Aptos, in an elimination contest. SLV would come out on top, after being in control of this game from the start. Starting pitcher Jonah Shabry, hit a solid double to right field with one out in the first, and another out later, D'Shawn Hopkins hit a homerun picking up 2 of his 4 RBI's on the day. Nathan Pisciotta also singled and scored in the first, giving the SLV 9's a nice lead. They added a run in the second and then 4 more in the third before Gilroy-American scored their first 3 runs. SLV would also score 2 runs in the 4th, and 5 in the 5th. Having been placed in a 12-run hole in the top of the 5th, Gilroy was unable to score the needed 3 runs to avoid being beaten by the 10-run rule, and SLV chalked up their first win of the tournament. Jonathan Davico, Charlie Weigel, and Shabry all had RBI hits in the game. Robbie Carling and Davico both hit triples, and Jared Trader and Ian MacDonell also had basehits. Shabry was the winning pitcher, with Hopkins pitching in relief for three innings.
The 9-year olds will face Scotts Valley in an elimination round Monday (7-9) at the Gilroy Sports Complex.
10-Year Olds - Pinto Lake Field (Watsonville-A)
SLV 11, Santa Cruz-National 5
The 10-yr olds came up with a big win in their first game of the tournament. SLV got on the board first in the 2nd inning with a run and scored two more in the top of the 3rd and never looked back. Starting and winning pitcher Jared Mailey held SC-National to 2 runs through 4 innings, and relievers Brandon Stoddart and Kenny Cellla protected the lead through the final two innings while on offense SLV added three more runs in the 4th and five in the 5th. Nathan Gentry, Kris Chatfield and Cella each had 2 RBI's in the game, and Garrett Kustin, Stoddart, and Derek Wolf (3-3) also had RBI's in the effort.
San Juan/Aromas 14, SLV 11
Friday night SLV suffered their first loss after an early game run fest. It would be the San Juan/Aromas team that would prevail however, sending the SLV team to the loser's bracket. After scoring 8 in the 2nd inning, SLV gave up 9 in the bottom half of the inning, and were never able to catch SJ/A.
Gilroy-National 13, SLV 10
Barely 12 hours later the SLV boys were back in Watsonville to face the Gilroy-National squad in an elimination round. Gilroy-National was able to hit well in the 2nd inning, scoring 7 runs. SLV came back. With the score 7-5 in the top of the 5th, SLV scored 5 times. Cella, Max LaCapria, Gentry and Wolf all had hits, and Jude Sofranko also picked up 2 RBI's on a fielder's choice to give SLV a 10-7 lead. But the Gilroy-National team scored 6 runs in their half of the inning, and SLV watched their lead slip away. The loss eliminated the 10-yr olds from the tournament.
11-Year Olds - Harvey West Park (Santa Cruz)
SLV 6, Santa Cruz-National 0
The 11-yr olds played very well in their defeat of the Santa Cruz-National team. Pitcher Jordan Peabody pitched to all but the final batter having reached his pitch limit. Dayton Landry had the game winning hit in the first inning tripling to right field and scoring Peabody and Robbie Biagiotti. The SLV team had 7 hits from Peabody, Johnny Lucas, Andrew Adams (2-run triple), Biagiotti, Landry, Ben Knudson and Jacob Schwartz.
SLV 18, Live Oak 0
On Saturday morning the SLV 11's obviously ate their Wheaties (or something), as they were unstoppable against Live Oak, ending the game early by way of the 10-run rule in the 4th inning. Ajay Morrison pitched for the win as the offense racked up 15 hits.
The next game for the 11s will be against the Salsipuedes/Watsonville-National team on Tuesday night at 5pm @ Harvey West Park.
12-Year Olds - Aptos Jr. High school (Aptos)
SLV 6, Live Oak 5
Despite allowing 3 homeruns, starting pitcher Lucas Trader still chalked up the win in this game, as his offense outpaced Live Oak and SLV led the game from the 3rd inning. Kyle Fimbrez went 3-4 and had 3 RBI's at the plate, and Larry George and Logan Nance also had RBI hits. Billy Mullins and Ben Snyder also hit doubles.
Aptos 12, SLV 2
On Saturday, the 12s were handed their first defeat by the Aptos team. Mullins and Trader scored the only two runs for SLV in the first inning. The Aptos bats proved too much to handle that day, though, and ended the game early for SLV by the 10-run rule in the 5th.
SLV will face either San Juan/Aromas or Salsi/Watsonville-National in an elimination game on Wednesday, 5:30pm @ Aptos Jr. High School.

Astros & Marlins Bow Out of TOC
June 26, 2007 --
The SLV Astros reached the end of the road in the TOC on Monday night, after their second loss in the tournament. It was the Gilroy Cardinals who would best the Astros 12-1, in a game decided early by the Cardinals' 10-run lead in the fourth. During the tournament, the Astros won two games, beating the Watsonville-American champs 2-0 and the Aptos Red Sox in their first game 10-8. The Majors Astros suffered their first loss on Saturday, June 23rd, in a close 2-1 game against the Santa Cruz-National Cubs.
The Marlins also have completed their post-season run in the Minors' tournament. After beating the team from San Juan / Aromas in an exciting come from behind 9-8 victory, they would drop the next two games to Live Oak, and then either the team from Santa Cruz-National or Gilroy-National. No further details are available for their last game at press time.
Congratulations to both teams for their efforts and achievements this season.
We're all very proud of our SLV Champs!!
