The CBC All-Stars know how fast a game can change. Friday night, it changed in their favor when they scored 11 runs in one inning.

Saturday, they gave up five runs in the sixth inning and Torrance, Calif. (3-1) ousted Chesterfield, the host team in the Bronco-11 World Series, 7-4.

“[The loss] is going to be with us for a long time, but hopefully we can just get it by us and forget about it and go on,” first baseman and right fielder Colin Jones said.

Two runs scored in the second inning when Justin Ford hit a single to center, then advanced to third on a throwing error by the center fielder. CBC (2-2) slowly built up a 4-2 lead over five innings.

In the sixth, Torrance catcher Konnor Smith hit a two-run homer to left to tie the game at 4. California tacked on three more to make the score 7-4, and CBC was unable to respond. Smith finished 1 for 3.

“I was worried when they got a runner on second and the big man comes to the plate, smacks one over the fence and I was like ‘Oh,’ ” Jones said.

CBC managed only three hits as Torrance pitcher Travis Martizia pitched his second complete game in three days. He allowed two earned runs, struck out 11 and walked six.

Chesterfield didn’t make much of its chances early in the game, as it left seven runners on base.

“Any time you get that many on base, you need to push most of them across,” CBC coach Jim Jones, Colin’s father, said. “Getting the bases loaded and then leaving them out there – that’s going to hurt you at some point.”

Eric Hubbard, CBC’s left fielder and lead-off hitter, said above all else, he’ll remember the experience of meeting teams from all over North America. After the tournament, players and coaches traded jerseys and hats with memebers from other teams.

“You just got to see what their life was like,” Hubbard said.

Hubbard is new to the CBC team, which went to Texas last year to play in the World Series as 10-year-olds. That team went 2-1.

“The biggest part of all this is getting to be host,” Jim Jones said. “We’re bringing people into our area and we want them to have a good time, and enjoy it – remember it positively. We met a lot of good people.”
