The Panteras saved their best for last, posting a convincing 13-3 run-rule victory over Rude-Pac in the championship game.  Along the way, the Panteras knocked off two teams in Sledgehammer&#8217;s California Top 10, # 6 Savala Rounders and # 9 Rude Pac, the latter twice, making a strong case for inclusion in the next set of rankings.<\/p>\n<p>Panteras starter Bobby Lara went the distance for the win, after Jesse Duncan pitched the squad to a 6-2 semi-final win over the Black Sox to get the Panteras into the final.   If you were looking for a player of the game (and day), it might well be Anthony Rocha, the ;power hitting shortstop for the team.  Rocha hit a key home run against the Black Sox in the semi-finals, then homered and doubled in the same inning (the 10 run fifth), driving in 3 runs.  Eli Salazar nearly matched him, also homering in the semi-final win over the Sox, and hitting a triple and single in the championship game, and driving in 3 runs.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Click link above for complete recap, including scoring summary from Championship game, along with Sunday&#8217;s Elimination bracket, scores, and photos.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From Fastpitchwest&#8217;s &#8220;Leagues&#8221; section: Palm Springs I [PALM SPRINGS, CA &#8211; 03\/26\/06] -After dropping their first two round robin games on Saturday, Fernie Ramirez&#8217;s Panteras squad reeled off five consecutive wins, including three in Sunday&#8217;s single elimination bracket play, to capture the first So Cal ASA &#8220;A\/B&#8221; league weekend tournament title of the 2006 season.
