By Tim Clinton

Look out San Bernardino, here we come.

Soundview Little League of Northeast and other parts of Tacoma is bound for the Southern California city east of Los Angeles after posting a 4-1 victory over Gig Harbor in the Washington state if-necessary second final Sunday morning.

The win at the Walla Walla Little League complex sends Soundview south to the West Region tournament for Majors all-star baseball players ages 10-12.

The action runs Aug. 9-14 with the champion there going on to the Little League World Series in Williamsport, Penn.

Soundview went to Walla Walla as the District 10 champions.

It opened state with a 5-1 win over West Seattle on Saturday, July 18 before taking a 3-0 loss to Gig Harbor two days later.

Soundview bounced back to beat Kirkland American, 9-0, in a loser's bracket game this past Wednesday and an 11-0 victory over Lake Stevens on Thursday.

That advanced the team to Friday's loser's bracket final against Richland, which it won, 5-2, to earn a Saturday morning rematch with Gig Harbor in the provisional championship.

Soundview took that game, 5-0, to force Sunday's second championship.
