Tracy Press

A local youth softball All-Star team bounced back in the final games of a Sacramento tournament to earn a spot in next month's State World Series Classic.

The under-10 Tracy Express All-Stars softball team took second place in the Softball Jammin tournament in Sacramento, their first tournament of the year following the regular Express season.

The girls started the weekend early Saturday morning with a 15-4 win over the Redding Rebels. The second game was a tough 7-0 loss to the Elk Grove All-Stars. The third game was a 6-1 loss tothe Sunnyvale Wicked, ranked sixth in the under-10 circuit.

With a win in the first game, the Express were in a bracket that put them up against the Redding Rebels again on Sunday. Tracy rallied for a comeback in the last inning to win 7-3 and stay in the tournament. The second game of the day was a 10-7 win in a rematch against the Elk Grove All-Stars.

That put the local team in the championship game in another rematch, this time against the Sunnyvale Wicked, which prevailed over Tracy Express, 13-1.

Despite the loss, the second-place finish qualifies the Tracy Express under-10 All-Stars for the State World Series Classic in July.
