The Lafayette Little League 11U All-Stars won the District 4 Championship on July 9. The last time the LLL 11-year-olds won the District 4 banner was in 2011.
Last year, the team was eliminated from two tournaments by South Oakland. This year, Lafayette redeemed itself by defeating South Oakland 9-2 for the championship.
Leading up to the title game, the team defeated Albany (11-0), North Oakland (12-2) and Continental (9-3). They outscored their opponents 41-7 in their four wins.
Lafayette's ace John Kalil pitched in all four games giving up zero runs in 12.1 innings and striking out 13 opponents.
Brady Huchingson, Sam Heyman, and Jack "JT" Byers lead the team in hits, while Huchingson and Heyman also lead the team in extra base hits.
The team advanced to the Sectionals last weekend.
