The winner of the West Zone Tournament will advance to the World Series in Virginia starting July 26.

Ramona players include: Zach Kudrawec, Tristan Stacy, Derek Diamond, Ben Knowd, Trevor Strong, Seth Dalton, Karson Basore, Tom Warren, Kyle Pack, Brayden Lessler, Casey Bugglen and Tyler Steglic. Their coaches are Steve Diamond, Tim Knowd and Pat Trampus.
