Laguna Niguel is the next destination for the Rocklin Little League Junior All-Stars, who have earned a trip to the Western Regionals.

Rocklin claimed its ticket Thursday with a 3-2 victory over Hollister in the Northern California Division 2 championship game at american River College. The title was the third for Rocklin, which also won the District 4 and Section 11 tournaments.

Jake Faulkner pitched the distance for Rocklin, which also beat Hollister 6-1 in the winners' bracket final.

Rocklin's first game at the Western Regionals will be Tuesday at noon against Montana.
