Rincon beat Cactus 12-0 Tuesday night at the Field of Dreams Complex and the team from the Vail area will advance to the 9-11 State Baseball Tournament slated to start July 14 at Horseshoe Trail Elementary School in north Phoenix.
The District 12 8-10 Baseball Tournament could be decided Wednesday night at Purple Heart Park with Rincon (3-0) and Sunnyside (3-1) playing at 6:30 p.m. Rincon sent Sunnyside to the Elimination Bracket by a score of 14-2 on Tuesday so Sunnyside has to beat Rincon to force an “If game” Thursday night.
In D-12 Majors action, Copper Hills (3-0) is waiting to play the winner of Rincon (2-1) and Sunnyside (3-1) Thursday night in the first step towards a date in Williamsport. D-5 champion Marana will join the winner of D-12 in the state tournament.
