The Ceres Gray 14-and-under All-Stars collected one win, two ties and a loss on their way to a third-place finish at the Bel Passi baseball tournament.

"I'm never upset with the boys," said head coach John Cardelli, whose team improved to 16-3-3 in summer-league play. "They always give 100 percent."

Bel Passi Red eliminated the All-Stars on July 20 in Modesto. Ceres Gray led 3-1 before losing 5-4 to the host team.

The All-Stars were hurt by four errors.

"We can't win every game," Cardelli said.

David Brazil pitched the first four innings for Ceres Gray. The All-Stars trailed 4-3 when he left the contest.

Jesse Hatfield allowed one run in two innings of relief.

Wes Ward caught all seven innings.

Bel Passi Red broke a 4-4 tie with a run in the bottom of the sixth inning.

Ceres Gray failed to respond in the top of the seventh.

The All-Stars totaled seven hits off Bel Passi Red's pitching staff.

David Griffin and Christian Martinez had two hits apiece. Brazil, Grant Wolff and Chris Moscozo all contributed one hit.
