THIS LINK to District 39's 2017 Tournaments page should be the most up-to-date information available, regarding most recent scores and locations and times for games. The game brackets are in Google Docs, and my experience was that if you are signed into your own Google account, it might cause errors in viewing them.

Local Post-Season Tournaments! TOC's and All-Stars Brackets!
Starting Sunday, June 12, SLVLL will have four teams competing in local competitions - 7/8 Tournament, 8/9 Tournament, and the Minors/AAA and Majors Tournament of Champions, which will run from June 12th through June 22nd. (** Please note - all brackets below are from the District 39 website; THEY will update - I have NO control over how quickly or slowly that takes place. **)
Our 7/8 and 8/9 teams are listed with our upper division All-Star teams HERE.
The 7/8 Tournament is being hosted right here in SLV (bracket HERE)! Due to prior field maintenance commitments at the high school, we will be hosting most (if not all) of our tournament at Highlands fields. We hope the 7/8 families will chip in and help with Snack Shack and field prep and clean up duties, along with many board members who have already committed their time to the task. SLV eliminated in Game 13, Cap/Soquel defeated Scotts Valley and became 7/8 Champion after winning Game 14.
The 8/9 Tournament (click HERE for the tournament bracket) will be hosted by Scotts Valley LL. SLV was eliminated in Game 10, Santa Cruz American was ultimately triumphant against Scotts Valley, claiming the 8/9 championship in Game 15.
Our AAA Nationals will be representing SLVLL in the Minors/AAA Tournament of Champions (bracket HERE), hosted by Pajaro Valley LL. (Seventeen-game tournament, nine teams - LOST first game (Game #3) to Cap/Soquel, 8-2; WON second game (Game #7) over Live Oak, 5-2; WON third game (Game #11) over Santa Cruz American, 10-8; WON fourth game (Game #14) over Aptos, 12-11; WON fifth game (Game #15) over Cap/Soquel, 11-7; WON sixth game (Game #16) over Scotts Valley, 6-5; LOST seventh (and final, for the championship) game to Scotts Valley, 12-3.)
AWESOME job, Nationals!
You may not have won the district championship, but you are OUR champions!
The Majors Nationals will represent SLVLL in the Majors TOC's (bracket HERE), co-hosted by the Cap/Soquel and Live Oak Little Leagues. (Seventeen-game tournament, nine teams - WON first game (Game #3) over Santa Cruz American, 11-2; WON second game (#9) over Santa Cruz National, 16-0; WON third game (Game #13) over Cap/Soquel, 4-1; LOST fourth game (#16) to Cap/Soquel, 2-4; WON fifth game (#17 - for the championship!) over Cap/Soquel, 8-7!!
CONGRATULATIONS, Nationals, District 39 Champions!
Starting June 25th and going to July 10th, All-Star games will begin (for us, that means the 9/10, 10/11 and 11/12 year old All-Star teams. More details will be posted soon!
Congratulations to all players moving in post-season play to be the face of SLVLL across the county!
SLV Majors WIN District 39 Tournament of Champions!
Playing a total of five games in the 17-game Majors Tournament of Champions, the SLVLL Majors Nationals won four of five games, of course the MOST important one being the last one, for the District 39 Championship! They beat Cap/Soquel with a score of 8-7.

2016 SLVLL End-Of-Season Tournament Information
To See the Calendar and Brackets on their own Web Page (latest update 6/2/16) Click HERE
For a copy of the rules, expectations of managers, parents, etc. (says 2015, rules are the same this year) - click HERE
Some tournament rationale and apology to SLE parents:
The Tournament at AA level is for fun only. There is no advancement at the AA level to a district championship.
Our tournaments at AAA and Majors serve to determine a season champion and entry into District 39's Tournament of Champions (TOC) that begins on June 12. This is the fifth year that SLVLL has used a tournament method to determine our TOC representative in AAA and Majors.
The Science Camp Issue: Science Camp officials have traditionally been very accommodating to SLVLL as far as releasing players to play on those game nights. We will have 8 teams (AAA and Majors) over two nights needing release of players and the logistics of that effect. SLVLL understands that parents have paid money for this camp experience and most of us have had to (in the past) remove our own kids and do the whole interruption of their experience. We apologize to SLE 5th grade parents for this hassle and will look in the future to try to better configure school commitments or our tournament process. Thank you for understanding.

A Heartfelt Thank You
October 22, 2010
After 5+ years of flipping our burgers, grilling our buns and making us laugh out loud, Steven Shabry has stepped down from the position of Snack Shack Coordinator, and from the SLVLL Board of Directors. With one son in Majors and another entering T-Ball, Steven will never be far from the fields. Still, his departure creates a vacancy of laughter, spirit and snark in the board room, as well as a seemingly bottomless well of knowledge when it comes to Little League. For many of us, Steven was the go-to guy when questions arose about running the League, and we've long been grateful to have his knowledge in the room.
And so we take this opportunity to thank Steven for his energy and commitment to our league, its children and its families. You are loved and appreciated, Steven. Thank you for doing all you've done, and all that you'll no doubt continue to do.
P.S. It's never too late to change your mind.
12's Show Grace, Sportsmanship in Final Loss to Hollister Nat'l
July 21, 2010 – 11:00 PM
Our awesome 12's held their heads high as they faced their final defeat against Hollister National, losing by 10 runs with a final score of 12-2.
All was quiet with our boys until the bottom of the sixth, when their bats started to come alive with two outs on the board. Bryce Nunes, Robbie Carling and D'Shawn Hopkins all chipped in to make sure we didn't face a shut-out in our final game, and they did so with skill, pride and smiles.
San Lorenzo Valley Little League was officially formed in 1958, and since 1987, there has been only ONE other 12-year-old team that has made it past the D39 banner. This year's 12's, led by Tom Jameson and Kevin Neu, made it to 2nd place in Sectionals, and that is an accomplishment that they--and we--should all celebrate.
For 11 of these boys, this was their final game as Little Leaguers, and we couldn't be happier to have had them on our side. To all of them, we wish you well as you continue up the ranks to Pony and beyond, and we welcome you to return to cheer on and mentor the SLV Little Leaguers for whom you have led the way, and to whom you have proven that hard work and perseverance can result in a wonderful combination of sportsmanship, teamwork, mutual respect and friendships that will last a lifetime.
Thank you for taking us on this journey, and for being the kind of players--the kind of men--that you are. You represented our league, our community and our District better than any other team EVER has, and we thank you for that.
With love and appreciation,
Your SLVLL Family
SLVLL 12's DO IT AGAIN!!
July 21, 2010 – 07:00 AM
For those who attended last night's game against Saratoga, blood pressure medication and a stiff drink were on the menu as the two teams battled to the bitter end.
At the top of the 2nd, SLV had a comfortable lead of 5-0, but Saratoga wasn't letting go. By the bottom of the 2nd, Saratoga had edged into the game, with a score of 6-4. The third inning held status quo, and after four complete innings, it was 8-6, SLV.
In the middle of the 5th, Saratoga fought back; 8-7 with a runner on first. Trader was on the mound, and after a hit up the middle and a pass ball, Saratoga had runners on 2nd and 3rd with only one out. D'Shawn Hopkins threw the next play to 1st and got the runner out, but the runner on third came home, tying the game 8-8 with two outs...then three. Whew!
Keenan Neu was not about to let those Saratoga boys clinch it, so he did what he does best--another home run changed the scoreboard to 9-8, SLV. Blake Snedeker made it to 1st, and Mitchell Kamau took a sacrifice bunt to move Snedeker to 2nd. Ian Macdonell walked, resulting in runners on 1st and 3rd. Bryce Nunes stepped up to allow Snedeker to score, resulting in a 10-8 lead with two outs in the 6th. Robbie Carling's bat brought two runners home on a double, with SLV leading 12-8. Middle of the 6th, Trader on the mound...
One double, no outs. Fly to center, one out, runner on 2nd. Strike out. Next batter: Strike one. Strike two. Ball 1. Ball 2 (come on!!!). Ball two, short overthrow, first runner scores with a runner on 2nd. After that, it was a mix of balls, strikes and stress until Strike 3--and we did it!! Final score: 12-9, SLV.
Tonight our boys take on the hometown favorites, Hollister National. These boys decorate their talent with war paint and dugout chatter, but they're good players--they're the only team we've lost to so far. We need to take them down tonight and tomorrow night to clinch the Sectionals, and we need YOUR HELP! Please grab your bullhorn and Xanax, and come down to Hollister to support our boys! Hope to see you there!
What's Happenin' with Our 12-year old All-Stars?
Here's the bracket for the 12-year old All-Stars Section 5 Division Tournament, which is being hosted by the Hollister American and National Little Leagues (the bracket is updated fairly quickly with scores). For directions to the field, click here.
If you have been appreciating the wonderful write-ups as the 12s progress through the tournaments, all the thanks go to Christina Wise, league president. She has attended every game, sent text messages to many of us who couldn't be there, and done the eyewitness report afterwards. THANK YOU, Christina!! Don't stop now!
Just scroll down for the continuing reports on our amazing 12-year old All-Stars, capably managed by veteran coach Tom Jameson (they are in chronological order, going down).
12-year old All-Stars Stayin' Alive in Sectional Tourney!
SLV beat District 59's North Valley in their second game against each other, with a final score of 4-2. North Valley came out of the gate with a HR, leading the game 1-0 until our boys came alive in the bottom of the 4th. D'Shawn Hopkins nailed a triple, Keenan Neu roped a double, allowing Hopkins to score. Ari Solomon stepped up and made it to 1st, followed by Blake Snedeker who delivered a double to bring Neu home.
An exciting game it was, made all the more meaningful by the wonderful sportsmanship of the North Valley parents. They wished us luck post-win, and were gracious in their loss. NV parents, you ROCK!
And we wait to see what tomorrow night brings our awesome 12's. Stay tuned...
12's Suffer First Sectional Loss
July 19, 2010
Our 12-year-old All-Stars lost their first battle on Sunday, July 18th. They faced the hometown favorite, Hollister National, and couldn't compete with their heavy bats (their lead-off hitter hit two home runs in a row) and outstanding fielding. Our boys hung in there and surfaced after six with a final of 4-9.
The boys and their bats are back tonight as they shake it off and fight their way through the rest of the tournament. They meet North Valley, whom we beat 8-6 on Saturday. No doubt the NV team is looking for vindication, so please make the drive to Hollister tonight and bring your SLV spirit for the 7 PM shakedown!

12-year-old All-Stars Edge One Step Closer to Williamsport!
July 17, 2010 – 10:30 PM
Our 12-year-old All-Stars are HOT, HOT, HOT! Congrats to all of our AWESOME players for a very exciting win against North Valley (D59) in today's first Sectional Tournament game in Hollister. Bats ripped as our boys made hit after hit on the plate, and made play after play in the field. Manager Tom Jameson played a strategic game of chess with the boys on the mound, helping our team to win 8-6 and leaving our pitchers fresh and ready to take down Hollister National (D9) on Sunday, July 18 at 10am.
I know, I know--Hollister isn't in your own backyard. (It's not in mine, either.) But our league hasn't had a 12-year-old All-Star team break out of the District since 1987. So come on! Grab your sunblock and Gatorade, and head south to support our boys as they march toward Williamsport. Here's the address:

12-year-old All-Stars Bring Home the Banner!!
July 10, 2010 – 11:30 PM
In a breathtaking nail-biter of a game against Santa Cruz National, our SLV 12-year-old All-Stars battled for the banner and won! Starting pitcher D'Shawn Hopkins owned the mound aided by strong bats, including a 2-run homer by Robbie Carling. Down 6-5 in the 6th, Ari Solomon hit a double with two outs to bring in the tying run and force the game into extra innings. Solomon stepped onto the hill in the 6th to hold Santa Cruz to a 6-6 tie, and he and his team continued to deny Santa Cruz National in the top of the 7th, only allowing one man on base before closing out the inning. The bottom of the 7th saw the SLV starting lineup emerge from the dugout. Jared Trader took a walk to first, D'Shawn Hopkins was out on a pop-fly to center, Keenan Neu got a base hit that sent Trader to third, and then Blake Snedeker--who was 0-2 in the game--clocked it to left center, allowing Trader to score and SLV to win the title.

Their first game is Saturday the 17th at 10am vs. the District 59 champs. Stay tuned to SLVLL for continuing updates as we cheer our All-Stars to the top of the heap! Way to go, boys! We are SO proud of you!
TJ and his boys will continue their trek to Williamsport via the Sectional Tournament, being held in Hollister from July 17 thru July 22 (click here for bracket).

Home Run Derby a Success!
MANY thanks to Charlie Prograce, AA Phillies manager, for coordinating and overseeing our first Home Run Derby! Those who participated had a great time!
Each division had a certain distance to hit the ball in order to count as a home run, with the Majors players having to hit it over the fence to qualify. The winner from each division received a $20 cash prize, as well as a giant "check" to commemorate the event and have as a souvenir.
This year's winners were -
T-ball division - Rider Saunders, with 3 home runs
A division - Casey Crouch, with 2 home runs
AA division - Kobe Pane, with 2 home runs
(NO picture available - see note below)
Minors division - Howard Forehan, with 3 home runs
Majors division - Jared Trader, with 4 home runs
CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THE WINNERS!
*Note from your webmaster - I have photos of 4 of the 5 winners (thanks to Carmen Bergmann!!). If the person who took a picture of Kobe Pane (who had to leave before the end of the derby) could send me that photo, that would be great!
He just did it for the kids...
It is with sadness and shock that we received the news that our District Administrator, Rich Young, passed away June 30th, after suffering a massive heart attack. Many of you have met Rich at one or another of our tournament games over the seasons or at some time during the regular season. He has been a part of the Little League family in District 39 for more than 40 years, and has worked tirelessly on behalf of Little League baseball and for the youth of our community. His presence, contribution and guidance will be greatly missed by all. A Little League foundation in Rich's name will be established, and the family has requested donations to this foundation in lieu of flowers. Checks can be made payable and sent to:

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.
Capitola/Soquel Emerges As District 39 Majors Champ

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.
