The Petaluma National Little League All-Stars had much to celebrate as they won the area tournament and two games in the District 35 Tournament before the joy ended with a 1-0 loss to Sebastopol in the district championship game.
Sebastopol 5, Fort Bragg 2
Petaluma National 10, Mark West 5
Petaluma National 9, Fort Bragg 0
Petaluma National 20, Sebastopol 1
Sebstopol 1, Petaluma National 0
Battered by the Petaluma National All-Stars, 20-1, on Monday, Sebastopol scraped back to beat the Nationals, 1-0, Tuesday night to win the District 35 Tournament championship and earn advancement to the Section Tournament in Larkspur.
Tuesday's loss marked the end of the line for the hard-hitting (at least until Tuesday) Nationals.
Each team entered Tuesday's contest with one loss Nationals in area play to Petaluma American and Sebastopol the night before to the Nationals.
The showdown game was a classic Little League pitching duel.
National left-hander Eric Parnow allowed just one hit Jacob Brady. He walked one and struck out 10.
Brady pitched for Sebastopol, and gave up just four hits, while walking none and striking out four. Unlike the night before, Sebastopol defenders, especially shortstop Ryan O'Hara, were solid behind their pitcher.
After he had retired the Nationals in order in the top of the first inning, Brady led off for Sebstopol by lining a shot over the left-center-field fence.
Although there was a lot of hope, despair and stress left, the game was decided.
Sebastopol had just one more base runner the rest of the game. Scott Hoffman walked one out into the second inning, and managed to get to third on a stolen base and a passed ball, while Parnow was in the process of striking out the next two batters.
Jacob Colbert smashed a shot back to the mound in the fourth inning. The ball struck Parnow and glanced to third baseman Cooper Casad, who made a perfect throw to first to record the out on the only difficult fielding play the Nationals faced.
The Nationals had their chances. Brady was a perfect nine up, nine down through the first three innings, but in the National fourth, sparkplug Taylor Richardson led off with a solid single to right center.
Brady made a nice play to force Richardson at second on Austin Gabbert's attempted sacrifice bunt.
Max Crysdale then hit a roller to the right of the pitcher's mound. Brady, Crysdale and the ball all arrived at the bag at approximately the same time. Crysdale was called out, but Gabbert hustled all the way to third on the play.
With Gabbert itching to bring home the tying run, Brady fanned Parnow to end the inning.
In the fifth inning, Max Cowell hustled out an infield hit, tripping over first base in his mad dash to safety. A strikeout later, Matt McCamish blasted a shot to the wall in right field, but the hustling Sebstopol defense held Cowell at third.
Casad and Ricky Matthews both hit the ball hard, but Casad's line drive went directly to second base and Matthew's fly to center was short of the wall for the third out of the inning.
Richardson led off the sixth inning with his second hit of the game, but a force out on a bunt and a come-backer that Brady turned into a double play ended the National tournament and season.
The Petaluma Nationals slugged their way into the championship game by burying Sebastopol, 20-1, under a barrage of 16 hits, six walks and three hit batters. The game was called after four innings.
The Nationals sent nine batters to the plate and scored five runs in the first inning
After a relatively quiet one-run second inning, the Nationals let the hitting dogs loose in a third inning that produced nine hits and 11 runs. Seventeen National batters swatted against three Sebastopol pitchers in the marathon inning. Nine had hits and four walked. Another was hit by a pitch.
Cowell started the merry-go-round spinning with a solid single to left field. He added a single to center later in the game.
Cowell was the first of five National runners to reach base twice in the inning. He and Richardson each had two hits in the assault.
The Petalumans put an exclamation point on the victory with three runs in their fourth and final at bat in a rally that featured Parnow's home run to straight-away center field.
Lead-off hitter Richardson fueled the Nationals' attack. He reached base five times in four innings, had three hits, scored three runs and drove home four. He was also hit by a fast ball that thumped off his helmet, popped up and scored a run after stealing two bases.
Richardson capped off his big game by coming in to get the game's final out as a relief pitcher, striking out the only batter he faced on five pitches.
Richardson wasn't the only Nationals' hitting hero. Parnow singled, doubled, homered, reached base four times, drove in two runs and scored three times; Cowell reached base four times, three on hits and scored four runs; and Dillon Plumbtree and Peter Parrick, sharing the same spot in the batting order, each had two hits,
Backed by such big run support, lefty Gabbert had little problem recording the pitching win. He pitched three strong innings, allowing two hits, while striking out four and walking just one.
The only run he allowed came with two outs in the third inning when Grant St. Martin drilled a double to right-center, scoring Brady, on base via a force out.
The Nationals opened the district tournament doing what they had done throughout the area tournament, coming from behind for a crucial win.
The Nationals spotted Mark West a two-run first-inning lead, and then roared back for a 10-2 triumph.
Casad had a difficult first pitching inning, but breezed though his next three innings before Mark West went long ball for back-to-back homers in the fifth.
By that time, the Nationals had a 10-5 lead and all that remained was for hard-throwing Perez to shut down Mark West for the final two innings. He did his job, allowing one hit, with four strikeouts.
Casad allowed seven hits, but pitched out of trouble with seven strikeouts.
Mark West jumped out to its early lead when Andrew Vaughn lined a two-run homer over the right-center field fence.
An error kept Casad in first-inning trouble, but shortstop Cowell pulled off a double play, snapping up a grounder and throwing to first.
The Nationals, after going six up and six down in the first two innings against Mark West pitcher Cal Clamer, picked up its first hit and first run in the third when Matthews lined a homer over the left-center-field fence.
The Nationals exploded in the third, winning the game with a six-run outburst. Gabbert, Crysdale, Parnow, Parrick and Matthews all had hits in an inning that was climaxed by Perez's three-run homer.
The Nationals followed with a 9-0 domination of Fort Bragg to set up its two big battles with Sebastopol.
