Championship Friday Wraps Up The 2012 Regular Season

The curtain comes down on the regular scheduled portion of the 2012 baseball and softball season, with two championship games and another one that feels like one. NORTH BAY LEAGUE POST-SEASON CHAMPIONSHIP GAME No. 1 Cardinal Newman (19-6, 13-1) vs. No. 2 Maria Carrillo (18-7, 11-3) Montgomery High School Game Time: 4 pm The two teams used the same formula, falling behind early and rallying to win, to split the two league games each winning at home. On April 11th, Maria Carrillo had a 3-0 lead going to the bottom of the fifth, when Cardinal Newman struck for five, on the way to an 8-3 win. Two weeks ago, Cardinal Newman led 4-0 after an inning and a half, and then it was all Maria Carrillo, in a 10-4 win. That was the only league loss for Cardinal Newman, this season. Both teams are hot and should get a good seeding in the NCS Division 2 playoffs. Maria Carrillo has a seven game winning streak. Five of their seven losses have been by one run, including three straight, after a 3-0 start, to start the season. They also lost another game by two runs. The only other loss was to Cardinal Newman. The 6-5 round one win over Rancho ...

The Top Seeds Advance To League Championship Games

Another Tradition Ends Last year it was Ursuline playing their last game as each sport season came to an end, which was historical. This year, it has been the end of one of the best rivalries in the area, playing together for the last time in a league game. When Casa Grande and Petaluma meet in the first round of the Sonoma County post season baseball tournament tonight, (Thursday), it will be the last time they will meet as teams in the same league. That is unless there is an alignment in the future that gets them back together. It is ironic that the SCL Baseball race played out in a way that the two schools would play each other one last time. How ironic you ask? The last time they played each other in this tournament was 2008. After finishing tied for first last season, they were favorite to play each other in the championship game, but the tournament was cancelled because of weather problems. For the record the 2008 game was won by Petaluma 6-4. Brett Pawlan drove in three runs for the Trojans and Vince Dequattro pitched four innings to get the win. Petaluma beat Sonoma Valley the next night 7-3 to win the ...

The Post Season Tournaments Begin

The baseball post season begins with the league championships, while the softball season winds down the league season. TUESDAY RESULTS BASEBALL NON LEAGUE St.Vincent 7 St. Helena 1 St. Vincent wins the game between NCL I and NCL II champions. St. Helena still has some work to do to claim a sole championship and that did have an effect in this game. The Saints, who have broken a school record for wins, started Sophomore Jackson Graf, who going in had pitched 4 1/3 innings all season. He kept St. Helena in the game but a five run sixth inning put the game away for St. Vincent. St. Helena committed five errors, two of them in the big sixth inning. St. Vincent had two hits in the inning. Despite all of that, St Vincent would have been tough to beat with St Helena playing flawless ball and whoever they pitched. That because Alex Neve did what he has done all season, pitching five innings, giving up one run and getting the win to raise his record to 7-1. Neve’s ERA on the season is under one and has only given up more than one run, one time this season. That was in his only loss, which was to ...

Regular Season Winding Down

But first and yes its bacccckkk. Before we get to the baseball and softball portion of things, let’s have a chat about YSN365.com. This might be the opening for the rest of the season and hopefully somebody will know some help.. I have been amazed and proud of how far YSN has come in a very short time. The YSN fans have been outstanding in helping this website and I’m not shy to say they have helped this website give the best coverage of local sports in the area. The plan was for the summer to report on summer camps that we find out about and maybe even talk about pro sports, since I know fans are interested in that also. The fact of the matter is that I am not sure how much longer YSN365.com is going to be around. As it comes to in life so many times it comes down to the bottom line, which in this case is money. Basically YSN365.com needs community funds to survive. That is just not happening. Maybe something will change soon. If you know any business that would be interested in keeping YSN365.com going---send them our way. Or if you know anybody that wants to ...

Weekly Recap: An Era Coming To An End

Last week without much fanfare El Molino defeated Elsie Allen in baseball. It was a reminder (to me at least) that things are ready to change. This season the El Molino-Elsie Allen games were a non-league games. Next season it will be a Sonoma County League game. If it was a trade announcement, it would have been something like, “The NBL traded Elsie Allen and Piner to the SCL for Casa Grande and Windsor”. This is not exactly the most even of trades, value wise, but that wasn’t the idea when the change was made. The big winner here is the NBL, who looks like it will have one of the top leagues in the North Coast Section World. That should help come seeding time for the playoffs. The purpose of the move was supposed to help the competitive balance for Elsie Allen and Piner, especially in football. Although, I think Piner will be fine, I’m not sure they have gone far enough for Elsie Allen. Actually the football program has the right idea, going independent and picking the schedule, at least until the program gets on its feet. One down part of that idea is it’s hard to find a decent schedule ...

BASEBALL: Petaluma Finishes Off Power Game With Healdsburg

It took an extra day but the NBL and SCL baseball post season tournaments are set. The schedule NORTH BAY LEAGUE WEDNESDAY Montgomery at Cardinal Newman Rancho Cotate at Maria Carrillo Both games start at 4 pm. The championship game is Friday at 4 pm at a place to be determined. SONOMA COUNTY LEAGUE WEDNESDAY Analy at Sonoma Valley THURSDAY Petaluma vs. Casa Grande FRIDAY CHAMPIONSHIP GAME All games at Arnold Field in Sonoma and start at 7 pm SATURDAY RESULTS SCL BASEBALL Petaluma 4 Healdsburg 2 It is almost shocking that Healdsburg didn’t make the Post Season tournament. The team that had a seven game winning streak after a loss in the opening game of the season and was in every YSN365.com rankings, until last week, but down the stretch they lost four of five, including the finale to Petaluma. The finale took over 19 hours to complete and no it wasn’t a fifty some inning game. Most of those hours nothing was going on, because of power failure Friday Night, at Rec Park in Healdsburg. The game started at 7pm Friday night and was suspended in the fourth inning because of the power failure. It was resumed Saturday morning at 10 am. Petaluma’s Dylan Parks came up with the big hits in both sessions. On Friday Night he hit ...
