Jason Fleming of the Troy American All Stars pitched well enough to win Saturday against Eufaula.

But unfortunately for Fleming and his team, Raequan Kelley pitched a little better. Kelley struck out 13 and allowed just one hit in six innings as Eufaula edged Troy American 3-1 in the O-Zone 12-year-olds district tournament. The game was played before a large crowd at Old Creek Town Park.

Eufaula advanced to a winner’s bracket game Monday against Enterprise American. Results of Monday’s game were not known as of press deadline.

Eufaula’s good fortunes were the result of a brief offensive flurry in the fourth inning and Kelley’s near-flawless performance on the mound.

The local All Stars scored three runs in a five-pitch span during the fourth to break what had been a scoreless tie. All three runs came with two outs.
