2009 District 33 Spring Tournament Re-Cap
March 27th thru March 29th, 2009
The First Annual District 33 Spring Tournament was held Friday, March 27th thru 29th at Murphy Canyon Little League’s, Santo and Damato Fields. The tournament was a tremendous success as Major Division teams from eight District 33 Little Leagues participated. The Championship game was a thriller under the lights as the Padres from Kearny Mesa Little League came back from four runs down in the bottom of the sixth inning to earn the win from the Bears of Rolando Little League. Congratulations to all the teams who played hard for each other during the event. Special gratitude goes out to the volunteer umpires who took time to work the games and ensure a fair and well played tournament. |

The 2008 Clay Berry Invitational Baseball Tournament Re-Cap
March 28-30, 2008
The Clay Berry Invitational Tournament at Western Region was held on the March 28th thru March 30th. This was the first time that D33 used the Western Region facilities to host a tournament. While we hoped it would be a good time and a success, what took place far exceeded any expectations that we possibly had. We would like to thank all the managers, coaches, parents and players for representing their league and our District with such class. The standard of excellence we strive for in this District was clearly upheld at this tournament. Jim Gerstenslager, Western Region Director, complimented the conduct of our players in and around the facility. He was impressed with the attention to detail in regards to safety and believed it was the first time he had hosted and not spotted a safety violation regarding, catcher equipment, on-deck-batters, helmets or other issues. Needless to say he was very much impressed with the way our leagues conducted their business as well as themselves. A special "Thank You" goes out to Tom Stoddard, President of Mid City Little League, for the great work that he did organizing this inaugural tournament at Western Region. We are glad that Tom paid attention to Jim Gerstenslager's speech at last year's District Dinner. What a tremendous asset he is to our District. One area of concern we had going into this tournament was getting umpires. As it turned out we had so many great umpire volunteer we were able to use 4 umpires on each game. It ended up being a great experience for all the umpires that attended. All the games were well played and a few with some exciting endings. We had one young man from Mid City pitch a 6-inning perfect game only to lose in extra innings. We had an exciting game between Lake Murray and La Mesa National that was won on a late two run home run. We also would like to thank Riddell for providing all the balls for the tournament and Powerade for providing sports drinks for every team. We hope that everyone who attended the CBI Tournament had a great time and can't wait to do this again. Congratulations to all the teams that participated and to La Mesa National White Sox for bringing home the flag.
