Four very evenly-matched teams of young All-Stars began competing today for the District 19 championship at Barranca Park in Covina.
In the opener, West Covina American pitcher Ken Zoelle was a one-man wrecking crew in a hard-fought game against Glendora American. Zoelle shone on a day to remember as he struck out 9 and smashed 2 homers that scored all 4 of West Covina's runs.
Glendora American........001 000–1 4 0
West Covina American.....010 30x–4 3 1
In a barnburner on Friday evening, Covina National and Baldwin Park's Eastside Little League traded run for run through regulation play until Covina scored the go-ahead in the bottom of the 10th for a thrilling 3-2 win.
West Covina American will meet Covina National in the District 19 title game tomorrow evening.
