The new  field  at 10400 Russell Road, L a Mesa serves the League’s youngest  athletes:  T-ball players ages 4-6 and Rookies ages 6-7. The new T-ball and Rookies field is adjacent to the existing Mosher field for older Little League players—a field where several major and minor league baseball players got their start.

Unfortunately, the Rockies kept the lead today.  Gerardo Parra started it up in the fourth with a single to score Carlos Gonzalez and the Rockies led 1-0.
