Eight teams advanced from pool play to compete for a spot at the Little League Baseball Section 7 tournament, including defending district champion CDO, which went 3-0 in pool play.

Site host Cajon de Oro will face El Cajon National at 6 p.m. on Saturday.

Prior to that game at CDO, Alpine American, which also went 3-0 in pool play after a 2-0 win over Rios Canyon on Thursday, will face Lakeside National at 3 p.m.

Lakeside National earned its spot with a 12-2 win over Santee Pioneer on Thursday evening.
