CLEARLAKE, Calif. – Southshore Little League will host the District 2 Senior Baseball All-Star Tournament at Redbud Ballfields in Clearlake on Friday, June 21, and Saturday, June 22.
The senior division is boys and girls ages 13 to 16.
There are two leagues competing: Middletown-Cobb and Southshore.
This is the first time in a long time – maybe ever – in the 60-year history of Southshore Little League that it has hosted an all-star tournament. Both teams are excited to be playing locally.
The first game is Friday, June 21, starting at 5:30 p.m.
It is a double-elimination tournament so the next game will start at 9 a.m. Saturday, June 22. If a third game is necessary, it will start at 1 p.m. Saturday.
Please come and support both leagues. You'll see lots of community pride on display – right along with good baseball and outstanding sportsmanship.
The Southshore Snack Shack will be open for all to enjoy – breakfast sandwiches, super nachos, of, course hot dogs, burgers and tri-tip sandwiches. There will be plenty of water, soda, teas and Powerade. Oh and then there's candy, too. Please do not bring food or drinks to the games (they are not allowed at tournaments).
Support Southshore's fundraising efforts. They are working on field lights and the tournament is the league’s "Light the Night" fundraiser.
Come down to the ballfields and enjoy a little home-grown baseball. Support these young people. Bring your community pride with you.

MADERA, Calif. – Coming off a victory at Stockton 99 Speedway two weeks ago, Robbie Knittel of Lodi drove the Ferrari Farms #24 modified to his second straight $1,000 victory at Madera Speedway Saturday night as the North State Modified Series, presented by Protect the Harvest, completed race #5 of the 2019 Driving Out Cancer Awareness Tour.
Knittel also set fast time of 15.117 seconds and took over the NSMS points lead by two points over Cameron Austin of Santa Rosa.
Knittel drew the number six pill for the starting position inversion putting Kelseyville driver Darrin Sullivan and Brian Collins of Camino in the front row. Sullivan forged ahead at the start with Darrin Knight driving under Collins for second. Austin swapped places with Collins on three and Knittel joined the top four on lap four.
Austin moved to the high side and assumed second on lap five. Knittel also drove the outside groove around Knight, and for the next 13 laps Knittel and Austin raced side-by-side, swapping places with each pass. Knittel finally won the battle when they caught lapped traffic and Austin was forced to settle into third place.
Meanwhile Sullivan was enjoying a healthy lead, but his car started to push sending him higher and higher into the turns. This gave Knittel a chance to catch up, and once again Knittel took advantage of slower traffic and made the winning pass on lap 31.
Sullivan’s car bobbled slightly on lap 46 allowing both Austin and Knight to gain ground. With only 11 laps to go, Sullivan lost control and spun in turn four to bring out the yellow flag.
The final laps went caution free with Knittel holding off Austin for the win. Knight finished third followed by Jason Philpot, Keith Bloom and Brian Collins. Sullivan raced back to finish seventh ahead of Ian Elliott, Sal Lopez, Dale Didoha and Rick Avila.
Austin won $100 in the Lucas Oil Dash for Cash. Elliott collected $50 for second. They both took home Lucas Oil products as well as the Scribner jugs. Austin also won the Naake Shocks certificate.
Knittel was named the Keyser Hard Charger for passing the most cars. Frank's Radios gift cards went to Collins, Elliott and Lopez.
The North State Modified Series moves north to Shasta Speedway in Anderson, CA on June 22.
