One McKinleyville Little League all-star team is moving on to the state tournament, and another is closing in on joining them.
On Monday evening, the Mack 11-year-olds defeated Chico 13-3 in Anderson to cap a big weekend and advance to their state tournament.
The 9-10 all-stars, meanwhile, are now just one win away from also advancing after securing a hard-fought 4-3 win over Sutter Butte at Hiller Park, also on Monday.
The win was the second in two days for the host team, which rolled over Susanville 23-0 on Sunday afternoon.
Earlier on Monday, Red Bluff defeated Susanville 19-7 in an elimination game.
Red Bluff will now play Sutter Butte at Hiller Park on Tuesday evening in another elimination game, with the winner playing McKinleyville on Wednesday night at 6 p.m.
Mack’s opponents will have to beat them twice to deny them the Section 2 championship.
