GAME BY GAME ANALYSIS:
Game 1: Game one started with all the pomp and circumstance that any allstar game should have and certainly the kids from Sparks burst out in the first inning in an attempt at winning game one against their cross town rivals, North Valleys. With two out, Codey Beattie strokes a triple and scores on a Zach Squire single to open the game up with a 1-0 lead in the first inning. Chris Flores started on the mound and kept the North Valleys hitters off balance all day while the Sparks defense held inning by inning until the top of the 6th. With a Sparks lead set at 3 to 0, top of the 6th, North Valleys starts the inning off with a ground out and then a single. The next batter reaches on a fielders choice but with two outs and a man on first, the Sparks lead began unraveling. Chris Flores walks the next two batters loading the bases and then begins showing signs of wear and tear on the golden arm that kept Sparks in this game from inning one. After walking in the next 5 runs Sparks changes pitchers to Tyler Starley who walks in the next two runs before recording the final out of the inning. Going into the bottom half with the score North Valleys 7, Sparks 3, our kids just fizzled and there was no pop from the bats as the team went three up, three down. More of the same for the bottom half of the 7th inning and the Sparks allstars lose the first round, 7 - 3. Game two is on Sunday, July 18 at 6 PM (Govenors Bowl).

Game 2: Game two against South Lake Tahoe started out well for the Sparksters but we were clearly outclassed from the start. Though the defense was again stellar, our offense couldn't get anything going through the entire game with some exception. Tyler Starley reached on a Single, Triple and almost had a double hitting fairly well in the game, while Codey Beattie hit for a double and single but all the Sparks allstars could muster was one run in the 6th inning. Eventually our kids lost to a well coached South Lake Tahoe team by a score of 7-1 and our season was over....just like that. Still, what a great experience for the kids and an enjoyable one for their parents and fans. There's always next year!!! GO SPARKS!
