The Central Maui All-Stars ran into a steamroller that goes by the name of Park View Little League.
The powerhouse team from Chula Vista, Calif., romped to a 15-2 win over Central Maui yesterday, slugging eight homers in four innings, at the Western Regional tournament in San Bernardino. Joshua Nobriga got into the longball act by homering for Central.
Park View is turning this regional into an internal home run derby, having hammered nine in a 27-1 opening rout of Cedar City, Utah. Park View has outscored foes by a combined 42-2 in just eight total innings as a result of the 10-run mercy rule.
On Friday, it was a classic case of too little, too late for Central Maui, which couldn't overcome an early 6-0 deficit and suffered a 7-4 loss to Glendale, Ariz.
Noah Apolo got Central Maui on the scoreboard with a solo homer in the fifth and Keanu Chang hit a two-run homer to spark a three-run rally in the bottom of the sixth, and final inning.
Central Maui will take an 0-2 mark into Tuesday's game against Cedar City. The first pitch is scheduled for 9:30 and you follow the action on Maui's ESPN 550. Central Maui closes out pool play of Wednesday at 9:30 a.m. against NorCal champ Eureka.
The top four teams in the six-team regional play in Friday's semifinals, winner Sunday's title game advances to the Little League World Series in Williamsport, Pa.
