Menlo Park's Little League team falls to Southern California in West Region final
Briefly

Menlo Park's Alpine Little League All-Star team's season ended with an 11-0 loss to Fullerton's Golden Hill Little League in the West Region tournament. The game was scoreless until the fourth inning when Golden Hill scored multiple runs, including contributions from players like Jacob Yun and Ploog. Gavin Janicke dominated on the mound for Fullerton, striking out 14 batters, greatly contributing to the team's victory. Fullerton advances to the West Region final against Hawaii, with the winner qualifying for the Little League World Series.
Gavin Janicke struck out a tournament-high 14 batters as Fullerton's 11- and 12-year-old All-Stars ran away with a lopsided victory in the unofficial California championship game.
I think the score tonight is a little wonky but (Northern California) just ran out of pitching. We didn't start too hot but it sure finished like an avalanche.
Ploog (3 for 3) added a two-run single as Golden Hill scored three more runs in the fifth off Alpine reliever Patrick Breslin for a 6-0 lead.
When his fastball is on he's unhittable, and he pitched a big game tonight.
