La Palma Continental 2, Lakewood Village 0 |
| 11/12 ALL STAR RUN COMES TO AN END |
And so it ends. Congratulations to Ian, TC, Nate, Matthew, Mondesi, Albert, Jake, Christian, Josh, David, Tiger, Justin, for a great run through the District tournament and a couple of well-fought games in the Sectionals. The Villagers came in to today against La Palma Continental Little League needing a win to stay alive in the tournament, and they certainly put runners on base--eight in all. Unfortunately, none of them scored as nobody managed the big hit. Meanwhile, Mondesi Blanchard pitched exceptionally well, only allowing four baserunners and striking out nine in five innings, but LPC was more efficient with their baserunners, and won the game 2-0.
As perhaps the most successful all star team in LVLL history, the boys should be very proud, and they will surely continue on to baseball glory in the future, as there was an abundance of talent present on this roster.

Yorba Hills 11, Lakewood Village 3 |
| 11-12'S LOSE TO YORBA HILLS |
| In a scorcher up in Fullerton, the Lakewood Village 11/12's ran up against their best competition of the year in Yorba Hills Little League, battled hard, but ultimately succumbed to a team that played better baseball. LVLL twice started an inning for Yorba Hills with errors and had five overall, which just will not get it done. Mondesi Blanchard homered in defeat, Jake Elzinga had a couple of hits, and David Rivera had a couple of hits also. Six Village pitchers chipped in today, and really pitched well enough to earn a better fate. Better luck next time, and next time comes quick: tomorrow (Sunday) at Fullerton Sports Complex, 4pm versus the La Palma Continental All Stars.

Long Beach 1, Lakewood Village 8 |
| 11/12'S MAKE HISTORY AND TAKE THE DISTRICT CHAMPIONSHIP OVER LONG BEACH, 8-1. |
| For only the second time in LVLL's 55-year history, the Majors all star team won the District championship (last: 1999), and they did it in dominating fashion. Mondesi Blanchard started for the Villagers and did not allow a hit out of the infield, and made a sweet pump fake play to pick off a runner while Long Beach was threatening in the third inning. He struck out 7 in 4-2/3 innings, and worked around 4 hits, two walks, and one hit by pitch to hand off the game to Ian Konek, who got the last four outs for the championship. Facing perhaps the hardest throwing pitcher in the area, the boys once again were equal to the task, with every single player reaching base, including a the first run-scoring hit from TC Johnson (who had two hits), a huge 3-run home run from Tiger Jablonski, who gave Lakewood Village a 4-0 lead in the fourth inning, and run-scoring hits from Matthew Fields and Ian Konek. All in all, this team hit .467 for the district tournament, slugged .847 (that is an amazing number, by the way), and gave up a mere 4 runs in 4 games. This group of kids won the 9/10, 10/11, and 11/12 year old all star tournaments, something that nobody else in our Section can claim. ...and speaking of the section, Lakewood Village will take on the District 56 champion Yorba Hills team at Fullerton Sports Complex (560 E. Silver Pine St., Fullerton) in the first round of sectionals on Saturday at 1pm.

Greater Bellflower 2, Lakewood Village 12 |
| 11/12 YEAR OLDS HAVE ENCORE NIGHT AND BEAT GREATER BELLFLOWER 12-2 TO ADVANCE TO THE DISTRICT FINAL |
| One year ago tonight, Mondesi Blanchard and Josh Fischer both homered in a dramatic win over Long Beach, with Josh's coming as a walk-off jack. The boys thought that was a good tradition so they did it again tonight vs. Greater Bellflower. In a game that was not their best effort overall, the boys handled business in any case, with Mondesi reaching base four times, Josh Fischer thrice more, Ian Konek garnering three hits and 3 RBI's, and pitching three strong innings for the win. David Rivera (ol' doc) reached base three times in addition and Albert Rodgers hit a booming triple in the first inning as Village jumped out to a 4-1 lead right off the bat. The lads will saddle up again on Tuesday July 13th at 7:30 pm at Stearns Park in the championship game.

Long Beach 1, Lakewood Village 3 |
| 11/12 YEAR OLDS USE PITCHING, DEFENSE, AND WHEELS TO SECURE A BIG VICTORY OVER LONG BEACH |
| The Villagers took on LBLL's big dog on a balmy Thursday night at Stearns Park and took advantage of their precious opportunities to get the win. Justin Boyd started a rally with a leadoff single in the 3rd inning, Tiger Jablonski specially ran for him, and scored with alacrity on a Mondesi Blanchard single followed by an error by the Long Beach centerfielder. David Rivera then drove in Mondesi with a groundout, and that ended up being enough for Mondesi (5-1/3 IP, 11 strikeouts. 2 hits, 2 walks, 1 hbp) to win and Ian Konek to save the game for LVLL. Ian was also rock solid at first base, making every play hit his way. The 11/12 year olds will next play on Friday, July 9th at 7:30 pm versus Greater Bellflower.

West Long Beach 0, Lakewood Village 18 |
| LAKEWOOD VILLAGE 11/12'S TAKE CARE OF BUSINESS AGAINST WEST LONG BEACH 18-0 (4 INNINGS). |
| The 11/12's came together beautifully tonight against the West Long Beach squad. Ian Konek, Matthew Fields, and Mondesi Blanchard combined to strike out 8, and allowed only one baserunner in four innings. The team had 17 hits in the game--all but one player scored a run--and were led by Matthew Fields who hit two home runs, and Mondesi Blanchard and Tiger Jablonski, who hit one home run apiece. The LVLL Little League All Stars will take on Long Beach this Thursday at 7:30 pm at Stearns Park.
