The Sitka All-Stars Little League team, shown here after winning the District II pennant, played hard against the Abbott-O-Rabbit squad from Anchorage in the state tournament last week in Wrangell. Sitka fell three games to one in the series.
The Sitka All-Stars baseball team’s District II championship came last week in Wrangell, though their tough play against other teams from Southeast could not be matched against the stellar District I champs, “Abbott-O-Rabbit” out of Anchorage in the State Championship, where Anchorage won the best-of-three competition.
Anchorage, who maintained a post-season scoring record of 109-2 against the All-Star teams in their division, had to play a little more defense as Sitka scored 8 points over four games – and gave Anchorage their only loss of the post-season when they held on for a 4-3 win on Friday night.
Sitka’s Bryan Joseph was named as the winning pitcher in their victory.
Anchorage won handily during each of their other games, winning 10-3, 12-1 and 11-1.
The Abbott-O-Rabbit team will now travel to the Northwest Regional competition in San Bernardino, Calif. Aug. 2-10.
