The 12-year-old Hollister All Stars proved too much for Gilroy Tuesday.
Hollister beat up on Gilroy 9-1 in the sectional loser’s bracket in San Jose. The loss eliminated Gilroy from the tournament, ending its season.
Hollister struck early, scoring two runs in the first inning. Gilroy answered with a run off the bat of Marshall Silva III in the bottom half of the inning, but that was the extent of what the team would do. Hollister’s scoring came off of three homeruns — two of which were two-run homers and the other was a three-run blast.
Hollister had to fight back through the loser’s bracket, winning two straight to get to Tuesday’s game.
The win sent the Hollister All Stars to the championship game against Santa Cruz Wednesday.
