La Verne Senior All-Stars Win With Extra-Inning Heroics, 12-9
Continuing a tradition of baseball excellence in the city, the La Verne Seniors Little League All-Stars (ages 15-16) won the District 20 championship by defeating Claremont 12-9 on July 11. The win, in extra innings, catapults La Verne into the Section 3 tournament against the District 18 and 19 champions. The tournament will be held at Pioneer Park in El Monte, beginning Saturday, July 18.
La Verne almost didn’t make it. Down early 7-1 against Claremont, the team rallied to tie the score, then won in extra innings when Peter Frasca blasted a 3-run home run in the top of the eighth to win it.
The team is managed by Mike DeMonaco and coached by Kerry Graeber.
Players are Andrew Tiscareno, Jamie Saldivar, Anthony Gonzalez, Scott Salsman, C.J. Griffin, Austin DeMonaco, Peter Frasca, Tanner Graeber, David Vera, Woody Reyes, Jared Pine and Anthony Williams.

Hi La Verne Online! I dig your paper, but something perplexes me. Why is there no mention of the huge 9-hour-long electrical power outage that hit North La Verne on Friday/Saturday May 7th and 8th? There were also sirens in the area all night and morning, yet no report of anything by anyone, anywhere. We’re all left wondering why. Thanks, hp.
