Congratulations to the Castro Valley Little League Minor A Braves. On June 12, the team won the California District 45 Little League Tournament of Champions (TOC). The Braves defeated teams from Union City and Mt. Eden in the early brackets before moving on to the finals to meet the San Lorenzo (Los Charros) for the Championship in an 8-6 win.

Highlights for the Braves included starting pitcher Major Jackson throwing three straight innings and striking out four batters. Closer Carter Norris pitched the last three innings and recorded the save. Jacob Graves went 3 for 3 at the plate—including an intentional walk—and was responsible for 5 of the 8 runs.
