The Lafayette Little League 9-year-olds completed their first tournament of the summer in style by capturing the title in the 26th Annual Granada Little League Invitational Tournament held in Livermore. The group went an impressive 5-1 over the week long tournament outscoring their opponents 70-27. The final victory came against a very good Tassajara Valley squad. Lafayette exploded for 15 hits and 12 runs.

Their run toward the championship ended against a tough Albany team at a game on Saturday, July 7. The team will continue its summer slate of games during upcoming tournaments in Danville and Livermore.
