SFLL 9-10 All-Stars Rally Past Penn Valley, 9-5

Trailing 3-0 heading into the third inning, the Sierra Foothills 9-10 All-Stars used the comeback trail to win its opening District 11 All-Star tournament game Tuesday night at Tri-City Little League Park in Rocklin.

Sparked by steady pitching from Ben Thompson and a key two-run hit from Jakob Nored, the SFLL All-Stars started its post season play by rallying for a 10-5 win over Penn Valley.

The win for the SFLL 9-10s puts the squad in Thursday’s second round winner’s bracket game against Lincoln. Game time is set for 5 p.m.

Sparking the team defense for the winners was infielder Alex Tobiaz who turned in several fine plays.
