With Santa Rosa holding a slim 3-1 lead in the fifth inning, Want suffered a leg injury while delivering a pitch and was forced to leave the game. He may be out for the rest of the tournament. Jim Fleck relieved Want and completed the game, with Santa Rosa getting two insurance runs in the top of the seventh inning. <\/p>\n<p>Santa Rosa will be on the field again against the winner of the Team Killeen-Marysville VFW game, and the winner of that game will play again at 2 p.m. in the losers bracket finals against the loser of the Tatis-Piper Lake game. It would take two more wins to win the championship.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.playkilleentexas.com\/documents\/07ASAMensCFPNationalChampBRACKET_010.pdf\"><strong><br \/>\nHere is the latest bracket from the official ASA website,<\/strong><\/a> which does not yet reflect Santa Rosa&#8217;s win over Rico Motors, of Gallup NM.
