Samuel Watts had a sacrifice bunt for an RBI.

Rooker stole home in the third to help shift the momentum Carson Valley's way and Hayden Keller came in to close.

Carson Valley fell to South Tahoe 11-10 on Saturday, despite leading for the majority. South Tahoe had an inside-the-park grand slam home run to put the game away in the sixth.

Washoe eliminated Carson Valley with a 14-10 win on Sunday. Carson Valley out-hit Washoe for the game as Trevor Edis had three RBIs and Rooker, Keller and Weston Rauber each had one RBI.
