JEFFERSONTOWN, Ky. Mattoon finished 3-0 and Charleston 2-1 in pool play of the Cal Ripken Baseball Ohio Valley Regional for 9-year-olds with single-elimination to begin Saturday.
James Hess went 3-for-3 including a double with three RBIs and William Applegate pitched a complete game win as Charleston defeated North Harrison, Ind., 8-4 Friday afternoon.
In Mattoon's only game on Friday, Sawyer Kirts had a bunt single and scored the winning run on a throwing error in the seventh inning as Mattoon edged Connersville, Ind., 7-6.
Luke Perry had a double and two singles for Mattoon.
Earlier in the day, Charleston lost 11-3 to Jeffersontown, Ky.,
Charleston's Brett Spour had two singles and Luke Landrus a two-run double in its morning game when it trailed 5-3 in the bottom of the fourth before Jefferstown, last year's 8-and-under Ohio Valley runner-up, pulled away.
The Castle Motel may go down in the history as the derelict building that refuses to be demolished, but what remains of the abandoned and burned-out hulk likely will be flattened on Monday.
Work was supposed to begin Thursday, but the city of Beaumont discovered that it had no source of water, which was necessary for the demolition contractor to spray on the site to keep debris from blowing in the breeze.
On Friday, a crew from the city's Water Utilities Department bored a new hole under 11th Street to thread in a new 2-inch plastic pipe and finished the job late in the afternoon.
From the viewpoint of the northbound side of 11th and looking across the street at the Castle, 1125 N. 11th St., a large track hoe with a steel-toothed bucket attached is ready to chew into what remains. It sits behind a padlocked chain-link fence.
To the left of the Castle, or its south side, is A-1 Cleaners.
To the right of the Castle is the former Chula Vista Restaurant, which closed suddenly in late January 2013 after more than 30 years in business.
Earlier this year Claybar Funeral Properties Inc., which owns the properties at 1145 and 1155 N. 11th St., acquired the former Chula Vista property.
A telephone message for Warren Claybar could not be delivered late Friday afternoon.
Looking at nearby properties, like Calder Baptist Church and Claybar, suggests possible redevelopment.
"My first choice would be medical offices," said The Rev. James Fuller, Calder Baptist's pastor. "Eleventh Street is where there is a concentration of them. They're wonderful neighbors for us."

As the owner of a blighted East Side motel was being taken from a Franklin County courtroom in handcuffs yesterday morning, Doni Schoedinger was thinking about the party that she and her neighbors are planning for the buildings demolition.
Were going to have a cookout across the street when they bring in the bulldozers, she said after a judge found Fu Ih Chu in contempt of court and ordered him to jail until the building is torn down.
Im dumbfounded, Environmental Judge Dan Hawkins said after hearing testimony that Chu hadnt obtained a demolition permit for the former Motel One by Thursdays court-ordered deadline.
The deteriorating, crime-ridden motel at 3190 E. Main St. was shut down in April 2012 by Hawkins predecessor, Harland Hale, after city prosecutors presented evidence that it was a magnet for drug deals and prostitution. One year later, Hale declared the property a public nuisance and ordered it demolished or sold within 180 days.
Chu and his daughter Helen Steed appealed the court order, but the county Court of Appeals sent the case back to Environmental Court after the city and the owner filed a joint motion asking that they be allowed to resolve the case.
In May, Hawkins signed an order giving Chu until July 31 to demolish the building and transfer the property to a real-estate agent interested in redeveloping the site.
Chu, 67, testified yesterday that the demolition was delayed because the agent, Steve Master, has been unable to finalize deals with tenants for the proposed development.
Hawkins said the suggestion that Master is the one to blame for the demolition delay is infuriating.
Schoedinger said the property, about 400 feet from her house, has been such a nightmare for the neighborhood that it prompted her to join pickets outside, testify at a 2012 hearing and become active in her block-watch program.
