Belmont-Redwood Shores (BRS) 11/12 year-old all stars kicked off the Division Tournament in Roseville with a mercy rule win in four innings on Saturday.

Sean Lee kicked off top of first inning on the mound in four batters. In the bottom of the 1st Brad Shimabuku smacked a line drive down the third base line for a single. The first inning ended 0-0.

In the second inning, with his all-star team behind him BRS quickly shut down the top of the inning with 3 up and 3 down. In the bottom of the second, with 2 outs Daylin McLemore cracked a beautiful line drive to left field fence for a double and the fun begins. The pitcher was rattled and walked the next 3 batters followed by 2 hits by Shimabuku and Dominic Susa scoring 3 RBIs and setting the table for Lee to blast it out of the park for a grand slam, ending the inning 7-0.

In the top of the third, 5 batters up and no runs scored. In the bottom of the third, Luke Bugbee lead off batter bombed it out of the park for a home run followed by Jake Stulbarg, Daniel Friis and Nicolas Lopez all driving singles for 1 more RBI, now 9-1 with Susa at the plate crushing it into left field for the winning RBI.

Riverside Park had their last inning at bat with 4 batters up and down, ending the game in 4 innings mercy rule, 10-0. BRS plays game 2 at 10am Sunday in Roseville against West Sacramento. Thanks to all of the family and friends that made the haul to cheer us on in the 106 degree heat!
