(His son Gary plays and runs the team, though he was unable to make the trip to Texas)<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\nThe young and talented Santa Rosa Fastpitch team continued its march through the losers&#8217; bracket of the Class C National Tournament in Killeen, TX, by polishing off Cleon&#8217;s Auto of Washington, 12-4 in five innings late Saturday.  <\/p>\n<p>The win moved Santa Rosa into a 9 a.m. game today (Sunday) against Rico Motors of Gallup, NM. Santa Rosa, now 5-1, opened the tournament with a 9-1 win over BPA Miller Lite in a six-inning run-rule game, but then lost 10-0 to Twin Pines of Pennslyvania to drop into the losers&#8217; bracket. They remained alive with a 15-0 three-inning run-rule victory over the Anco Longnecks, beat the Savala Painters 13-0 in a five-inning run-rule game, and then topped the San Antonio Titans 9-5 before disposing of Cleon&#8217;s Auto, 12-4 in another five-inning run-rule game.<\/p>\n<p>Twin Pine, which handed Santa Rosa its only loss, has been eliminated, losing 12-5 to Rico Motors and 1-0 to Marysville VFW. Santa Rosa, which has scored 58 runs in its five victories, is guaranteed of at least a tie for fifth place in the final standings. They would have to win four straight today to win the championship.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.playkilleentexas.com\/documents\/07ASAMensCFPNationalChampBRACKET_009.pdf\"><strong>Direct link to Bracket, updated through Saturday morning&#8217;s games<\/strong><\/a> (bracket &#8220;009.pdf&#8221;)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(click logo to visit official site, with brackets and more) The Santa Rosa Fastpitch team from northern California outlasted the team that dispatched them to the loser&#8217;s bracket earlier, and will be around on Sunday when the final handful of teams square off to decide the 2007 ASA &#8220;C&#8221; National champion at Killeen.
