Youth Baseball: Ken Hubbs Little League rolls to victory

RIALTO - Starter Eddie Aldama was dominant early, then the Ken Hubbs Little League bats came alive.

Ken Hubbs broke open a close game with six runs in the fifth inning and went on to down Barstow 13-4 in the second game of the Section 8 Little League Tournament at Frisbie Park on Saturday night.

Ken Hubbs advances to play Highland in the winner's bracket game at 8 p.m.

Sunday, while Barstow faces Vineyard in an elimination game at 5:30.

Aldama struck out five of the seven batters he faced in two innings. Ken Hubbs took a 4-0 lead the lead in the top of the second with four runs, with the final two runs scoring on a dropped fly ball with two outs.

It was 5-1 in the fifth when Ken Hubbs erupted for six runs, capped by Juan Navarette's three-run homer to put them on the verge of a mercy-rule win.

They were one out away from the victory in the bottom of the fifth when Kevin Locke's three-run double kept Barstow alive and made it 11-4.

But that was the biggest offensive highlight for Barstow, which had just two hits against Aldama, Billy Alvarado and Noah Para. Ken Hubbs had 13 hits, with Aldama hitting a home run in the sixth inning and Abel Madueno going 4 for 4 with a double.
