The Phillies won the Moraga Baseball Association Pinto Championship (7- and 8-year-olds) by sweeping a double header from the Pirates on June 3 at the Saint Mary's College softball diamond. The Phillies faced elimination in the first game, down 14-10 entering the bottom of the last inning but promptly rallied for five runs to claim the victory, 15-14. The Phillies won the championship with a wire to wire 14-8 win in the night cap. The Championship capped a terrific season by the Phillies who went 14-3 on the year and placed five players on the league All Star team. The Phillies were led by Oliver Murrin, Jude Waide, Hudson Ortland, Kian Malekafzali and Riley O'Toole and received strong contributions from Jake Pinedo, Brody Chapman, Henry Golinveaux, Cohen Pearse, Ethan Meyer and Baron Conrad in a great team performance. The Pirates also ended a fine season, having handed the Phillies two of their three losses. The Phillies were coached by Charley Murrin and Jon Waide.
