SAN BERNARDINO — For the first time in four years, a Southern California team won’t represent the West Region at the Little League World Series.

Northern California’s Tri City Little League of Rocklin knocked off Chula Vista’s Park View Little League 7-5 on Wednesday night in a Western Regional game at Al Houghton Stadium.

Tri City avenged its 16-8 regional-opening loss against Park View. Northern California accomplished the win by scoring at least a run in each of its first four innings – including a four-run rally in the first – and getting out of a bases-loaded jam in the fourth.

Tri City will play in Friday night’s semifinal at 6 p.m. against the loser of Thursday night’s winner’s bracket game between Hawaii and Nevada.

A night after throwing 5-2/3 perfect innings on the mound, Northern California’s Nathan Erickson had a big game at the plate Wednesday to ring in his 13th birthday. He went 3 for 3 with three runs scored and sparked the rallies in the first, second and fourth innings.

Tyler Allen went 3 for 4 with a run scored and an RBI for Tri City, and Gavin Correia produced a two-run single in the first.

Anthony Leyva and Ivan Rodriguez Jr. collected two hits apiece for Park View, which advanced to the Little League World Series in 2016 and in 2009, and Conner Alonzo drove in two runs. Slugger Jose Mendoza, who had hit three home runs in the tournament, was intentionally walked three times by Tri City, including once with the bases loaded in the fourth.

In the fourth, Park View loaded the bases with one out. After the intentional walk, Park Valley cut Tri City’s lead to 7-5. Then Tri City pitcher Ben Tipper got the next two batters to strike out and ground into a fielder’s choice at third base.

Mountain Ridge Little League of North Las Vegas was the last non-Southern California winner at the Western Regional, in 2014.

NORTHWEST

OREGON 7, WASHINGTON 3: Murrayhill Little League’s opportunistic style came into play for the second consecutive game as it eliminated West Seattle to advance to Friday’s Northwest Regional semifinal.

Oregon scored five runs in the bottom of the second on just two hits, and that was the difference Wednesday night. Murrayhill knocked off Wyoming 13-10 despite just getting six hits on Tuesday.

“Our guys are pretty aggressive,” Oregon manager Augusto Maza said. “Once they get on base, they’re pretty smart.”

AaronRey Simpson tripled to right to open the inning and scored on an error. Then Christian Neely and Zane Garvey drew walks, and they each advanced a base on a wild pitch and scored on the same wild pitch to make it 3-0.

Before Washington recorded its first out, Oregon’s Carson Reeg and Kellen Hicks also received walks. Reeg scored on another wild pitch, and Hicks came home on Gunnar Gustafson’s single.

Oregon added a run in the third on a wild pitch, and Gustafson scored in the fifth after opening with a double on a fielder’s choice.

Besides his triple that opened the second-inning rally, Simpson made a diving catch to end the top of the third inning.

Oregon advances to the Northwest Region semifinal on Friday at noon against the loser of Thursday’s winner’s bracket semifinal between Montana and Idaho.

Washington jumped on the scoreboard in the top of the first inning.

Matthew Henning went 2 for 3 for Washington with a sixth-inning, two-run home run and a run scored. Henning put West Seattle up 1-0 in the top of the first when he hit a wind-aided ball into the left-field corner for a triple and scored on an error.
