San Francisco Little League

SF American pounded out 13 runs on 10 hits in just three innings at the plate and defeated Ross Valley convincingly 13-2 in the District 3 quarterfinals on Monday night at Tepper Field. 

Trailing 1-0 in the bottom of the first inning,  SFA struck back with three runs,  keyed by a two run triple by Clayton Read. This was the beginning of a great game for Read at the plate and on the mound.  In the bottom of the second,  Read was called upon to pitch and get SFA out of a  bases loaded- nobody out jam.  Read retired the next three batters, allowing only one run to score. 

In the bottom of the second,  Anthony Gonzales unloaded on the first pitch he saw and hit a three run homer to make the score 6-2.  In the bottom of the third, SFA sent 11 batters to the plate and scored seven runs to put the game out of reach.  The big blow was a grand slam by Read, who drove in six runs on the evening.

The win sends SFA to the District semi-finals on Tuesday night against  Mill Valley at Boyle Park in Mill Valley
