Red Hot Chili Peppers players defeated a Santa Barbara team 3-0 and Santa Ynez 5-1 in the first day of the tournament Saturday.
The team then lost to Lompoc 3-2 but beat another Santa Barbara team 3-1 in the semifinals Sunday.
In the finals later that day, the Chili Peppers faced the same Lompoc team again, and after both teams went scoreless in the first half, the Lompoc team scored two unanswered goals in the second half to hand the Peppers the second-place finish.
