SAMOHI — Just days removed from giving up the first run to an Ocean League opponent in 23 games, a streak that spanned parts of three seasons, it appears that the Vikings have recovered.
MARINE PARK — St. Monica’s Anthony Yoshinaga picked a great time to come through with the first walk-off hit of his life. The senior catcher came to the plate in the bottom of the ninth inning, the score tied and the weight of his team’s season on his back.
VENICE — They are young. They are undersized. They are in their first year ever playing baseball. They are Mulholland League champs. The Pacifica Christian Seawolves pulled off the improbable Thursday by defeating league rival Wildwood, 16-0, and clinching the school’s first league title in the proc
SAMOHI — Garrett Frick has decided to aim high. The senior forward who helped lead Santa Monica High School’s boys basketball team to the semifinals of the CIF-SS playoffs in February has committed to play ball for the Air Force Academy.
SAMOHI — Tossing eight innings of two-hit ball is usually enough to notch a victory. Santa Monica High School’s Logan Whitchurch (3-2, 1.87 ERA) just so happened to be on the wrong side as the Vikings lost an extra inning Ocean League game to Beverly Hills, 2-1, on Tuesday.
SAMOHI — For six innings, the Vikings had Palos Verdes’ number. The problem is high school baseball games are scheduled to go seven and in the case of Saturday’s contest they sometimes go into extra frames where Palos Verdes was able to steal a 7-5 victory in 10 innings.
CLOVER PARK — Crossroads’ Max Robinson is a one-man gang. Well, at least he was Friday during a 16-1 Delphic League win over Kilpatrick. The sophomore starting pitcher (7-0) not only shut out the Mustangs for four innings, but he helped his own cause by going 3-for-3 and driving in five runs.
SAMOHI — After losing to the Vikings on Tuesday, the last thing Morningside wanted to deal with was Tyler Skaggs. Luckily for the Monarchs, Skaggs, who has been nursing a sprained ankle since his no-hitter against Lompoc on April 13, was limited to just three innings.
MID-CITY — There’s no chance a first-year team could make the playoffs, right? Apparently, that line of thinking is lost on Pacifica Christian High School’s baseball team, which has defied the odds by posting an 8-2 record and even more impressive 7-1 mark in Mulholland League play.
SAMOHI — The Vikings’ drive for a third consecutive Ocean League title in baseball just got a little more interesting. Santa Monica High School’s 7-3 victory over Morningside at home Tuesday allowed the Vikings to stay atop the league standings along with Culver City.
MADISON CAMPUS — Tongues will be in cheeks, eyes will be winking and, hopefully, everybody in attendance will get the intended parody. The style of song and dance that comes along with India’s Bollywood cinema isn’t necessarily intended to be funny, but the exuberance of its performers, the vibrant
SAMOHI — The streak lives on. Santa Monica High School’s softball team’s impressive Ocean League consecutive game shutout streak is alive and well following an 18-0 win over Morningside on Thursday.
