The Petaluma Leghorns got their appearance in the American Legion Western Regional Tournament started off with a bang on Wednesday, rolling past the Trappers AA team out of Utah 10-4 in their opening round game in Fairfield.
A tight game through the first three innings, the Leghorns took control with three runs in the fourth to go ahead 8-4 and then put the game away with two insurance runs in the seventh.
Jett Derammelaere, a recent Rancho Cotate grad, along with Windsor senior Adrian Rosiles and his recently graduated high school teammate Brandon Curry combined to hold the Trappers to just three hits in the game while striking out 10. The Trappers were able to capitalize on some early walks to keep the game close at 5-4 after three innings but Rosiles and Curry held them scored over the final five innings.
Offensively, the Leghorns got big performances from Petaluma senior Rowan Ball, Curry and recent Casa Grande graduate Danny Mercado.
Ball went 3-for-5 on the afternoon with a home run, four RBIs, four stolen bases and four run scored. Curry doubled and tripled with three runs scored and two stolen bases while Mercado had two hits for three RBIs.
Carson Davis, a recent Marin Catholic grad, also doubled in a two-hit day with an RBI.
Next up, Petaluma will face Las Vegas in the second round at 4 p.m. on Thursday.
