Capping an exciting 51st year of Clairemont Hilltoppers Little League play, division champions were determined, and three of the winners headed to Tournament of Champions play against other first place teams from District 32. In the Juniors division, the White Sox edged the Red Sox two hard-fought, nail-biting wins to claim their best-two-of-three playoff. The White Sox lost their first TOC game on Friday, June 22 in a very tight and exciting 3-2 decision in 9 innings against Mission Bay. In the Majors division, the Angels eked out first place in both halves of the season, to be named champs, and will advance to play in TOC game at Scripps Ranch Little League. They lost to a talented Coronado team in their first round game. In the Minors division, the Cardinals won two finals games against the runner-up A's to clinch the division title. Those two teams advanced to the finals with tight wins over the Giants and Cubs, respectively. The Cardinals won their first round TOC game against Rancho Penasquitos Central on June 20, before falling to eventual champion Scripps Ranch National two days later. Finally, in the Farm division, the Yankees squeaked out a 5-4 win in extra innings against the Rockies to win the division crown. The Yankees had topped the Mets in a slugfest in the semifinals, while the Rockies had a harrowing battle with the Orioles which lasted 10 innings, before the Rockies pulled out a 10-9 decision to advance to the finals. Congratulations to all of our 2007 teams.
