HANFORD -- The Hanford Babe Ruth 15-year-old All-Stars did not have too much trouble staying alive in the Pacific Southwest Regionals on Friday.

Erik Casida helped make sure of that, driving in eight runs in Hanford's 15-0 victory over Guam.

Hanford erupted for 17 hits to advance in loser's bracket play and will take on Mesquite, Nev., this morning at 10 a.m. at Tokumoto Field.

If Hanford wins, it will play again tonight at 7 p.m. against either Manteca or Yuma, Ariz.

Casida connected for a grand-slam homer in the second inning and then a three-run homer in the third. He also had an RBI single.

Guam was held in check by the stellar pitching of Michael Chavez. He pitched four innings with eight strikeouts and had a perfect game broken up with two outs in the fourth inning when Kyle Arce reached on a strikeout and wild pitch.

Kyle Verdegaal pitched the fifth for Hanford. He also provided some punch at the plate with a three-run homer in the fifth inning.

Hanford's Josh Banuelos was 4-for-4 with three runs scored, a double and two RBIs. Chavez was 3-for-4.

Guam's only hit came on a one-out, fifth inning single by Roman Seman.
