KMC Junior League softballers miss regional final

 The Kaiserslautern Military Community Junior League All-Stars lost their final pool-play game Saturday night, 16-3 to the Czech Republic, to complete their run at Little League Baseball’s Junior League European Softball Regional in the Milan, Italy, area.

 The defeat left the KMC stars with a 2-2 record and out of Sunday’s title game in the four-day, five-team event. Poland (4-0) and the Czech Republic (3-1) advanced to Sunday’s title game, where a berth in next month’s Junior League World Series in Kirkland, Wash., was at stake. No report about that game was available at the regional web-site, www.littleleaguelombardia.org, on Sunday evening.

 KMC managed four hits against the Czechs, one each by Kaitlyn Hawkins, Breanna Martinez, Sabrina Martinez and Mackenzie Knight. Sabrina Martinez and Tatyn Stout, with a sacrifice, were credited with RBIs.
