STOCKTON — The Manteca Rays majors punched their ticket to the District 67 Tournament of Champions final Sunday with a stunning 6-4 win over the Spreckels Park Red Sox on Nothgate’s Gillen Field, handing the Red Sox their first loss of the season at August Knodt School.

The Rays took advantage of three Spreckels Park errors and took a 4-0 lead in the first inning lead on just two hits and never trailed. Bryden Hoffman (double, two runs) led off the Manteca first with a double and scored on a wild pitch. Derek Anthony reached on an error and was knocked in by Tino Marinakis. Marinas scored on an error and Julien Rodriguez was singled in by Chris Antellas for that 4-0 lead.

Manteca added two more runs in the third inning on a two-RBI Dennis Huber double, plating Hoffman and Marcus Aldridge.

Hoffman went the first 4.2 innings for the Rays, no-hitting and blanking Spreckels Park for the first three innings and finishing with six strikeouts, two hits and two earned runs. Dacklyn Luis relieved Hofman in the fifth with two on and two out, ending the frame with a strikeout to the only batter he faced in the inning. Luis gave one hit and one run in the sixth, bringing in Callen Bankroft who ended the game on three straight strikes.

The Red Sox did not get on the board until a three-run fourth inning when Hayden Lineras walked and scored on an error off the bat of Edmund Townsend. Ace Midulla singled and came in on bases-loaded walk by Jayden Shortridge and Townsend scored on a Brenden Macias fielder’s choice. Midulla walked in the fifth and stole his way around the bases to steal home.

The two teams play for the championship Monday at 5:30 p.m.
