PORT ANGELES — Port Angeles 12U baseball enters this weekend’s 25th Dick Brown Memorial Tournament on a hot streak after a sizzling performance at an Everett select tournament last weekend.
The Peninsula squad dispatched a number of Seattle-area travel ball teams to win the Love of the Game Tournament held at Phil Johnson Field, the Port Angeles squad’s second tournament victory of the summer.
In a back-and-forth championship game, Port Angeles rallied from a 6-4 deficit against the Mukilteo Mavs in the bottom of the sixth inning — the final inning of regulation play — to pull out a 7-6 triumph, scoring the winning run on a close, head-first slide at home plate.

They will face the Whatcom Mudcats at 1 p.m. and the Kitsap Osprey at 3 p.m. in the five-team 12U Division with Port Angeles Blue also in the mix.
A three-team 9-and-10-year old division features PA Red and PA Blue.
