Fallon's Babe Ruth 13–16 All-Stars won two games on their home field before their run ended in the 2026 Pacific Southwest Regional Tournament at Churchill County High School.

The regional featured teams from California, Hawaii, Nevada, and Utah, including Santa Maria, Hanford, South Lake Tahoe, Kai Holomua, Lone Peak, Bei-Mateo, and host Fallon. Hanford, California, captured the championship and advanced to the Babe Ruth World Series in Branson, Missouri.

Fallon's All-Stars, coached by Colton Coverston, Brian Byrd, Riley Horn, and Jake Lewis, opened tournament play against Santa Maria. Santa Maria built an early lead before Fallon rallied with three singles and a double but came up short in a 7-5 loss.

Facing elimination, Fallon responded with a dominant 13-0 victory over Utah's Lone Peak. Mason Llamas collected two hits and drove in a run, Samuel Vinsonhaler singled home two runs, Kylend Powell added an RBI single and later stole home, and Mason White also stole home in the third inning. The game ended after five innings under the 10-run rule.

Fallon stayed alive with a 6-2 victory over Santa Maria in a rematch. Mason Llamas singled, Mason White drove in two runs, Powell stole home, and White earned the win on the mound to send Fallon into another elimination game against Bei-Mateo.

Fallon's tournament concluded with a hard-fought 3-1 loss to Bei-Mateo. Miguel Ceja Jr.'s sacrifice fly gave Bei-Mateo an early lead. Llamas drove in Fallon's lone run, while the All-Stars played error-free defense. Kenton Bryant led the team with six defensive plays.

Hanford defeated Bei-Mateo 10-0 in the championship game to win the Pacific Southwest Regional title and earn a berth in the Babe Ruth World Series.

In addition to hosting tournament games, Fallon welcomed visiting players and families with free access to the Oats Park Municipal Pool and Splash Pad, along with activities at the City-County Gym, Churchill County Library, Churchill County Museum, Fallon Golf Course, the Fallon Theatre, Fox Peak Cinema, and Andy's Arcade.

Comment author: Patti Cole Comment text: Marie will be forever treasured in memories. The memories remain of a soft-spoken, seemingly unassuming but determined individual who absolutely knew what path she wanted to take in life, and followed it. Her instinctive reactions, which highlighted her steadfast level of love and caring for her family, friends and all living things found in nature, hold lessons for us all. An unexpected splash of her self-deprecating humor, coupled with uncanny timing, will always bring a smile. For me, Marie lives on in the sighting of a Black-crowned night heron in the tules, the bloom of a beautiful spring flower and, most poetically, in the struggle of wildlife photographers handling their very large camera lenses.

Her dad Ted was my dad's brother. I never knew Ted or Betty, but I wish I did. I am 73 and live in IL. I am building my family tree and see where Betty has fit in. Blessings to you Curt and family.
