The Folsom American 9-10-year olds won for the second time in its tournament at Mann Field, defeating Ponderosa 13-2 on Tuesday. Ryan McBride led the way with three hits, while Matt Silva doubled and William Fitzpatrick picked up a big hit.

Kevin Huff pitched three strong innings on the mound, while McBride and Austin Fox pitched the final inning of the shortened game because of the mercy rule.
