RBY Pinto 8 Red All-Stars Win Sectional Title

The RBY Pinto 8 Red All-Stars took the PONY West Zone Southeast Sectional Championship in a decisive 11-3 victory over Coachella. Everybody played a great game. Pitching by Kade Finazzo, Bradley Gilbert and Tobias Mojica were terrific with exceptional catching by Dayton Thompson. The highlight of the day had to be the incredible double play run down started with Parker Blomquist's great stop in right field and the 'hot one' shot to Cody Lemler at first, who drilled a rocket to Dan Summers at third cutting off the runner and pinning him in a 6 throw run down with Finazzo at shortstop. The play by these boys and the the terrific coaching proved this team is very much "world 'SERIOUS'." The All-Stars played three games over the weekend to earn their spot in this banner game. The community fields in Redlands provided a bit of an edge as they defeated the same Coachella team 17-2 on Saturday, and teams from Chino Hills 9-2 and La Quinta 13-9 on Sunday. (Sectional) The next stop on the road to the PONY World Series in San Jose is the Regional Tournament. The RBY Pinto 8 have home field advantage as the tournament will place at the Community Fields (corner of San Bernardino Ave. and Church). After a loss versus Orangecrest Sunday morning, the All-Stars came back to win against Chino. The Pinto 8 are now in a must-win situation after Sunday's loss. The team is scheduled to play against Fontana with a rematch against Orangecrest to follow. For more information call Thom Salsibury at 909-855-3116. [END] The boys did it!!!
