The combined team from Queen Anne, RUG and Ballard outslugged the Oregon state champions by a 16-12 score Sunday afternoon to stay alive in the Juniors age 13-14 Little League all-star baseball tournament.

The team had taken a 14-8 loss to Nevada in its opener Froday before beating the host Bend, Ore. team by a 15-5 score Saturday.

At least one more game will be played at a time and against an opponent to be announced as the team tries to battle back through the loser's bracket to earn a trip to Taylor, Mich. for the Junior League World Series.
