They still could, though. And if they do, they'll be battling for a district championship.

Saratoga and Quito each posted 4-0 records in pool play to advance to the district semifinals. Saratoga was to face Lincoln Glen on Monday while Quito battled Almaden North. The winners of the two games will play for the pennant on June 29, 5:30 p.m., at the Branham Hills Little League field (on Ross Avenue near Branham).

Saratoga's closest game in pool play was a 9-6 win over San Jose American. The others were all decided by 10 runs or more. Saratoga pounded Los Gatos National 14-4, whipped Los Gatos American 12-2 and blasted Union 18-7.
