Glacier All-Stars advance to regional semifinal

The Glacier All-Stars are playing this week at the 2011 Kennewick Babe Ruth 13-year-old regional tournament in Kennewick, Wash.

Glacier started the tournament 3-0 with wins over Alberta (5-2), then defeated a team from Seattle 12-5 and Rock Springs, Wyo. 15-9.

The All-Stars fell 14-9 on Thursday to the host team.

"We came out pretty flat and didn't play very well," said coach Brent Wetsch.

"They were hitting us," he said.

Glacier had already clinched the No. 1 seed in its pool, however and will play the semifinal on Saturday against Bend, Ore.

"They're not a bad ballclub. They have some size to them, but they've lost a couple games in their pool, so if we show up to play, we can beat them," the coach said.
