Scotts Valley Little League

Wet playing fields haven’t dampened Scotts Valley Little League baseball at Siltanen Park — several seesaw, cliffhanger games have already been played in the league’s first week.
Majors division

Giants pitcher Tanner Spence recorded all eight of his outs on strikeouts, and reliever Jack Palmer fanned six.
Cardinals 14, A’s 0
The Cardinals flew around the basepaths in this four-inning contest, which was called due to darkness. Jake Wiechmann was 3-for-4 with three runs scored and three RBIs, Reilly Merlo and Joe Kim had two hits each, and Jakey Kim and Cole Amodeo each had a hit and walked twice.
No info was available for the A’s.
Cardinals 10, Brewers 9

AAA Division
White Sox 12, Phillies 8

For the Phillies, Anthony Locatelli was 2-for-3 with two doubles and Jasper Stemm had a single and a double.
Marlins 11, Cubs 3
Starting pitcher Dillon Danner, a 7-year-old second-grader, held the Marlins to three runs through 2 2/3 innings before he was pulled for nearing his pitch count, and the Marlins’ bats sprang to life.
Tanner Steen was 3-for-3 with a double, and Jaya Parisi, Mitchell Gaspar and Conor Santos all had extra-base hits, while Connor Hilton drew two walks for the Marlins.
Danner and Phillip Garrison each hit safely for the Cubs, with second baseman Connor Wilson turning a nifty unassisted double play on a line-drive out.
