The Lafayette Little League 11-year-old all-star team completed a run to the District 4 championship with a 5-3 victory over Alameda. The team went undefeated in the tournament, amassing a 53-6 run advantage over the competition. Things were tenser in the championship game, as the final frame saw Alameda load the bases with just one out. A swing-and-miss strike three followed by a line-drive laser that was tracked down in left field secured the victory. The District title is one of only a handful in Lafayette Little League history. The team advances to the Sectional Tournament in Petaluma, where it hopes to continue its run.
