Hollister’s best will be going at it tonight for the District 9 Majors Tournament of Champions championship.
The game will be at 5:30 p.m. at Gonzales. Although both teams are from Hollister, the tournament directors would not allow it to be moved to the home field because of the revenue it generates.

In the fifth inning, Cross hit a little flare that went past the right fielder to allow a run to score. Manny Bueno had a base hit to score the second run.
The Cardinals got their only run in the first inning after a triple by leadoff batter Ricky Garcia. Garcia scored on a passed ball to close the Yankees’ gap to 3-1.
