De Anza - Game 1
A's(18) 4
Cubs(18) 5
WP: Grolle.
HR >> None.

It was a pitchers duel all 12 innings. The A's made a couple web gem plays in the game to keep the Cubs from getting a rally started.

The A's took a 4-2 lead in the top of the 12th but couldn't hold on as Joe Renteria, with the bases loaded, two outs, and two strikes on him, came through with an opposite field hit to the fence to clear the bases and give the Cubs the win.

GREAT GAME!!!

Blue Jays(18) 7
WP: Morrissey. SV: DeAnda.
HR >> Reds(18): Siaca, Esparza, DeAnda, Rodriguez, Becks. Blue Jays(18): Hartshorn (2).

The Reds Bats were as hot as the 99 degree heat! With 8 dingers and 30+ hits in the double dip, the Jays were seeing RED and looking for missing players!

The savvy old Reds used this as a prep for the upcoming series against the hill topper Mets. The Reds broke a new record batting a 16-man lineup by adding Mensah and his newly purchase pantelones. Next series the Reds are going to need to dig deep and show the Mets once again who is tops in the Bay Area SJMABL Sweepstakes.

Blue Jays(18):
Hartshorn (2-4, 2 HR, 4 RBI).

Fremont - Game 1
Blue Jays 14
Cardinals 5
WP: Mike Pramuk.
HR >> Cardinals: Hicks, Garnica.

Tough game, and hard fought, even though the final score would not indicate it. Well played by both squads. Jon Norris pitched five strong innings, holding the Blue Birds to five runs, but left the game with no decision.

Domhoff (4 Runs), Barnes (3-3, 3 Runs), Guiffie (2-4, 2 RBI), Pramuk (2-4, 5 RBI).

Fremont - Game 2
Cardinals 2
Blue Jays 3
WP: Travis Talbott.
HR >> None.

Outhit 7-6 the Blue Jays prevailed 3-2.

The Cardinals hit the ball solidly against the lefty ace for the Jays but missed several scoring opportunities to take the lead.

Mike Barnes completed his perfect day at the plate going 2-2. The Jays were issued 9 walks, 3 of them to Mike Pramuk, but couldn't capitalize as the Cards continually got out of jams.

Well played game on both sides of the field. Both Pitchers brought their best today. Apodaca for the Red Birds combined with amazing defense from Arsenault at 2B held the Blue Jays to just 3 runs. Hats off to the Blue Jays starter for one of the best pitching performances seen in a while. Likewise to Apodaca for the Cardinals as he rose to the challenge. Good Baseball all around!

Cardinals:
Hancock (2-3, 2 Runs, 2B), Young (2-3, RBI), Suzuki (1-3, RBI), Moore (1-3, 2B).

Blue Jays:
