LATHROP — Thursday was not a night to celebrate for the local participants in Minor Division District 67 Tournament of Champions action, as both the Lathrop Giants and the Spreckels Park Dodgers lost consolation contests and had their seasons come to an end.
The Giants went toe-to-toe with the Salida Longhorns until the Lathrop had no answer for a four-run Salida fourth allowing the Longhorns to come away with a 12-6 victory.
Bella Cruz had the big bat for the Giants, belting a two-RBI triple in the first inning and tying the game at 5 in the third inning with a two-RBI double. Mateo Guevara and Jaime Ornelas each doubled for Lathrop and Jaydin Cruz reached base three times and scored once.
The Dodgers lost 13-3 to Tracy American.
Isaih Ford led off the fourth for Spreckels Park with a single and Joshua Brake followed up with a walk. Frankie Romo singled in Ford and Brake and Romo came around to score on passed balls.
The game ended in the fourth due to the mercy rule.
