Highlights from Coach Dave

In a monster game against Petaluma National, Dylan Dossola smashes his first homer to center field. 

In the Semifinal against Maidu, Nolan pitched 3 innings with 5Ks and 0 runs. Charles was down to his last strike in the top of the 6th, down 1 with the bases loaded. He connected for an infield single to tie the game. In the bottom of the 6th with 2 outs and a runner on third, Coach Dave chose to walk Maidu's two best hitters to load the bases, trusting Patrick not to walk in the winning run. Patrick induces a pop out to send the game into extra innings. In the top of the 7th, we started with an automatic runner on second and they walked two more to load the bases. Garrett comes through with an infield contact hit for the go ahead run. In the bottom of the 7th they sacrifice a runner to third with 1 out, Patrick iced the game with back to back K’s to win it.

In the final against Maidu: Nolan nearly went the distance, throwing 5.2 innings with 12Ks. Max Turner added another strikeout to collect the final out. Some big hits in the game: Garrett's early single for an RBI and Derek was 2 for 3 with 3 hard hit balls. Simeon patience at the plate paid off with a critical walk to load the bases and set the stage for Teddy to battle for a HUGE 8-pitch walk with bases loaded to drive in the game winning run in the 5th. Charles and Max had huge back to back tough walks in the sixth to drive in a run, Derek tacked on an insurance run with an RBI single and we all held our breath as Max caught a pop fly in left field for the final out.

Alpine Little League All-Stars keep rolling in Nor Cal opener
"Alpine opened the tourney at Petaluma’s Lucchesi Park with a three-run first, and added two big innings in the regulation six-inning victory. Their bullpen did the rest, as relievers Patrick Breslin, Derek Armstrong and Charles Saste combined to set down the last 10 batters of the day."

Alpine one win from West Region
"The kid they call “G,” Garrett Weiss, produced the game-winning swing of the bat as Alpine rallied for a 4-3, extra-inning win over Maidu-Granite Bay in the Northern California Little League All-Stars 12s semifinals Tuesday night at Lucchesi Park. With the win, Alpine advances to the championship round Thursday to play for a ticket to the West Region tournament in San Bernardino."

Nor Cal champs!
"Through 11 games this summer, Alpine Little League All-Stars star Nolan Levinson has started eight of them on the mound. The big right-hander’s dogged tenacity Thursday in the Northern California 12s championship game is, thus far, his crowning achievement."

Champion: Alpine wins the Section 3 Tournament title in 3 games.

Tournament Schedule/Results
Alpine 11, Newark 0 (6 innings)
Alpine 5, Bollinger Canyon 3
Alpine 9, Bollinger Canyon 4 (TITLE)

Highlights from Coach Dave

In the semi-final vs Bollinger Canyon, Max hit a huge 2-run homer in the top of the 6th and threw 60 pitches over 4 innings and only gave up 1 run. When Max ran into a bit of trouble, Coach Dave asked the kids what they wanted to do during a mound visit…they made it clear they wanted to keep Max because he was locked in. And who could forget Jack "Jackie Doubles" Chambers gutsy swing on a 3-0 count to crack a base hit to left.

In the finals vs Bollinger Canyon, Nolan made a statement with a lead-off, 270-foot homer in the bottom of the first. That same inning, Charles followed up with a 3-run blast. In the next inning, Kogan followed up with a huge GRAND SLAM. All 9 Alpine runs were scored with home runs in the first 2 innings.

Alpine All-Stars flex power in District 52 12s tournament
"The Alpine fireworks show was worth the wait."

Turner shines as Alpine advances to Section 3 Little League All-Stars 12s title round
"The Alpine All-Stars faced their toughest test to date in the Section 3 Little League 12s semifinals. With ace right-hander Nolan Levinson starting for the second straight day, and right-hander Max Turner bringing it home with four innings of relief to close it out, Alpine passed the test with flying colors"

Alpine power show: For first time since 2001, Alpine wins District 52 12s title
"It had been nearly a quarter of a century since Alpine won its last District 52 Little League All-Stars 12s championship banner. Twenty-four years, to be exact. As it turns out, all they needed was a murderers’ row of left-handed hitters to end the drought."
