The start of the District 73 Little League All-Star tournament for the 12-year-old teams kicked off on Friday afternoon from Julien Field where the Turlock National squad took on Mariposa under triple digit heat. The Turlock National squad fell early to Mariposa and never were able to catch up after a quick 1-0 deficit after the first snowballed into a four-run deficit midway through the fifth. A pair of runs were scored in the bottom half of the fifth to cut the lead to 4-2, but in the sixth a few base running miscues led to two outs and the game ended in a 4-2 loss for the National side.
