| The Orinda Baseball Association "Pinto" All-Stars won the 18th Annual Dale Wilson 4th of July Tournament in San Bruno.
The Orinda Pinto All-Stars went 6-1 in the first three days of the tournament and earned a spot in the championship game where they beat the hometown San Bruno team, 11-4.
In the championship game, Orinda had a 5-2 lead in the top of the fifth when they caught fire. They sent 10 batters to the plate and scored six runs to seal the win. San Bruno scored twice more down the stretch, but the defense put a stop to any comeback.
"This was an incredible group of individual kids who played as a cohesive team. They all took to heart that they were representing the city of Orinda and had to perform as such," said team manager Chris Leary.
