The Victoria Northeast All-Stars were selected in a vote of their coaches and fellow players and the voters were obviously well informed.
Northeast remained the only unbeaten team in the District 27 Area II 11- and 12-year-old tournament with a 9-1 win over the Bloomington All-Stars on Monday evening at Elder Field.
Eight of the 12 players on the Northeast roster had a hit, including consecutive singles by substitutes Kyle Kutchka, Kyle Davidson and Josh Cantu in a four-run third inning.
Six players scored at least one run, as Northeast guaranteed itself a spot in the championship game.
“Everybody takes turns on this team,” Northeast catcher A.J. Calvo said. “We do not call it subbing, we call it our rotation.”
“We can put any nine on this team anywhere,” outfielder Tyler Stocker said. “We all can play just about any position and we can still win.”
Bloomington scored a run in the top of the first inning on singles by Ruben Aguirre and Javier Reyes, which was the first time Northeast had trailed in three tournament games and the first run it had surrendered after winning its first two games by a combined score of 42-0.
Bloomington pitcher Keanu Escamilla struck out the first four batters he faced before Hunter Perkins doubled and came home on a single by Calvo and Stocker followed with a two-run home run.”
“He was the best pitcher we have faced,” Stocker said. “We just had to scoot back in the batter’s box.”
“Hunter started it with the double and we knew we could do it,” Calvo said. “Hunter also came in and did it on the mound.”
Perkins relieved starter Trent Salas in the first inning and yielded only two hits and struck out six.
“Hunter came in and did the job,” Northeast manager Carlos Salas said. “He was at 17 pitches before I decided to let him go all the way. We still have lots of pitching.”
Jerry Vasquez had two hits for Northeast, which played errorless defense.
Northeast will play Wednesday at 7 p.m. at Elder Field for the chance to move on to the district tournament.
If Northeast loses on Wednesday, it would play again Thursday at 7 p.m.
“We just need to put the ball in play,” Davidson said, “and play more defense.”

"everyone" I guess they are talking about only this particular NorthEast team. I enjoy reading about other teams/towns that have decent kids playing.
Don't even get me started about the GIRLS coverage---NONE! very biased paper. More kids from Shiner/Hallet/Yoakum area get scholarships than do from Victoria--lets hear about them.
Victoria LL is all daddy coach and can not get out of the 2nd round. The 10yr NVW team is pretty good for a young team which is playing in Cuero....and life goes on...
July 1, 2008 at 12:49 p.m.So Northeast plays Wednesday, but when does Bloomington play. I can't "imagine" that game is not scheduled yet. Why is there no quotes or interviews printed from someone on the Bloomington side? They played the game just like NE did. Since there was nothing printed from last Friday's game, I'll tell you that Bloomington beat Edna 10-0.
