Santa Rosa fast-pitch men's softball team advances in Iowa tournament

The Santa Rosa Fastpitch men's softball team won twice Thursday and advanced to the third round of the 2013 North American Fastpitch Association A-Major world tournament in Des Moines, Iowa.

After being declared a 2-0 winner by forfeit in its first-round game because the opponent didn't show, the Santa Rosa team defeated RM Kurtz of Pennsylvania, 5-2, behind a pair of two-run homers by Brian Macler and Danny Macler.

Mark Bennett was the winning pitcher.
