Robinwood wins Junior title

A tough best-of-three District 62 Junior Division All-Star

Tournament wrapped up Tuesday night, with Robinwood taking the crown from

Fountain Valley by virtue of a 7-3 victory at Robinwood.

Robinwood won the final two games of the series, winning 8-4 Monday,

four days after having suffered a 4-0 defeat at Fountain Valley.

Adam Dedeaux notched the pitching win, going 5 1/2 innings, before

Steve Willson closed the game.

Robinwood currently is representing District 62 in the Sectional

Tournament, which is being played at Behringer Park in La Mirada.

Robinwood, trying to stay alive in the tournament, blasted Plaza Little

League (Lakewood), 16-6, in five inning Mercy Rule contest Saturday, then

dropped a 6-5 decision to host La Mirada on Sunday.

Against Plaza, Danny Falkenstein struck the first blow by hitting a

second inning home run, Steven Becker all but sealed the game with a

fourth inning grand slam, and Eric Oviatt punctuated the romp with a

line-drive home run to center field. Eric Alcala got the pitching win,

with back up help from Willson.

Robinwood held a 5-3 lead heading into the sixth inning against a

tough La Mirada team, but a three-run home run put the host team on top,

6-5. Robinwood loaded the bases with two out in the seventh inning, but

Falkenstien was called out on a close play at first base to end the game.

Earlier in the game, Tommy Ursano hit the second grand slam of the

tournament for Robinwood, and Becker scored on a passed ball, to account

for Robinwood’s five runs.

The Robinwood Junior Division All-Star team also is comprised of Dylan

Brock, Nick Cardona, Andy Coburn, Brian Ellis, Shawn Parro, Ryan

Phillips, Aric Wienberg, Manager David Brock, and coaches Ken Oviatt and

Dan Cardona.
