OSKALOOSA — Coaches are scratching their heads and trying to think ahead and still trying to win baseball games. Four of the six games played Sunday saw double-digit scoring and only two games were won by less than 10 runs.

All the action is occurring at Lacey Complex in Oskaloosa as the 2010 State Little League Baseball tournament for 9-10 and 11-12 year olds took to the fields over the weekend.

The tournament will continue play through Wednesday as pool play. Following Wednesday’s games, the top two teams in each division will face each other on Thursday night for the championship at 7 p.m. and the right to advance to the regional tourney.
