The four local teams competing at the Shasta tournament went undefeated on the final day of action on Thursday.
The Eureka Loggers and Arcata Tigers capped an impressive showing in Redding as each won for the third straight day in tournament play.
The Tigers defeated Shasta 4-2 in eight innings, while the Loggers got the better of Enterprise 10-0.
Also in action, the McKinleyville Panthers won their second straight game, beating Orland 11-0 in five innings, while the Del Norte Warriors tied Etna 4-4 after their game was called because of a time limit.
The Arcata boys stretched their winning streak to eight straight games and improved to 13-2 on the season.
Cedar Cline got the win on the mound in relief, throwing the final four innings and striking out five.
“I thought Cedar stepped into a tough situation and he battled and he kept us in the game,” head coach Troy Ghisetti said.
Cline was also one of three Arcata players to get multiple hits, finishing 2-for-4.
Miles Oliver also was 2-for-4, while Will Mager finished 2-for-4 with a double.
Ty Ghisetti, Noah York and Anthony Ebert each also had a hit in the win.
“I thought it was a good test for us to be prepared for league,” the head coach added. “We had to face some adversity, we didn’t field the ball too well and we found ourselves down, and we worked through some things and the kids stayed focused and continued to battle.”
