Thanks.  I forgot about Channel Islands.

Does anyone see Cal Lu getting upset in the SCIAC Tourney?

Which team has the best chance to beat Cal Lu and take the Pool A bid?
A Cal Lu loss to Pomona and to Occidental could open the door for someone else. Not likely but possible.

I see Redlands being 2 and BBQ 1st.

Don't see it happening Crash, but it is baseball and you never know. A pitcher get's hot and who knows. CLU's offensive looks pretty good so they will likely outlast anyone in the SCIAC, plus they have decent pitching.

There is some concern this morning that the wind is going to switch back onshore which could blow smoke back into the Thousand Oaks area, which might create some issues at CLU. Not likely but possible. I think that CLU needs to have a good showing in the tournament to lock up the number 2 seed in the Regionals. Not sure if P-P can move into one top 6 spots in the West with a strong showing. (short of winning the tournament) I guess this would be a key story line for the tournament, same with the ASC, can TLU solidify their spot at number 6?

One of the comments on the article in the Chapman newspaper about the Tereschuk debacle:

Coach T, you were honeslty the best coach I have ever played for in my entire life. This is a 100% true statement, if it was not for you I would not be where I was today. The whole entire Angels organization now knows about this crazy situation and everyone here is supporting you to the fullest. I know you will have no problem finding a new home, and trust me, more success to come. Im gunna definintely be paying you a visit with some of my teamates to talk about al the good old days and help get you back on track. Ur an amazing man coach. See you soon.

Another fire at the 134 and 2.  That will affect the Oxy ride home.

Cal Lu 4 Occidental 3 Final  - Oxy had bases loaded in the 9th but could not score

Eyewitness report from Thousand Oaks:

Very entertaining game. Oxy had plenty of chances, but sloppy play did in the Tigers.

In the 2nd inning, CLU had runners at second and third with one out. Mike Vinyard hit a fly to right, but Alec Strain either misplayed it or lost it in the sun and it dropped in for a courtesy double. One run scored. Spencer DuBois then singled for another run. 2-0 CLU.

In the 5th, Oxy scored to make it 2-1, but in the bottom of the 5th, Jake Petersen doubled into the right field corner and went to third on a muff by Strain. Petersen scored an out later on a sac fly by Trevor Coons. 3-1 CLU.

In the 6th, Oxy tied it up on RBI singles by Chris Caldwell and A.J. Libunao. The Tigers left runners at second and third.

In the bottom of the 8th, CLU had runners at first and second with one out. DuBois grounded to Libunao, who stepped on third for out 2, but his throw to first sailed high. As Oxy chased down the ball, Vinyard, the runner at first, collided with Libunao as he tried to round third. The initial call was no interference, but after a lengthy discussion between the umps, it was ruled interference and Vinyard scored the go-ahead run. 4-3 CLU.

In the 9th, with one out, Scott Hong singled to left and went to second on a boot by Ramsey Abushahla. The next batter Logan Allen grounded to short. Hong, with the ball hit in front of him, tried to go to third, and was easily out. That was a very costly mistake because Jonathan Brooks immediately singled to left; Allen advanced to third. Pedro Adalpe was HBP to load the bases, but Victor Munoz struck out to end the game.

Oxy will now have to go the hard way through the losers bracket.

Note to some Oxy fans: Loudly and angrily arguing balls and strikes from the stands and yelling lame stuff like "Respect the game!" and "Why don't you just give them the game!?" at the umpires sounds real dumb. The umps don't care who wins. Really.

No live stats for the Oxy vs. Pomona game or is the Internet just smarter than me this morning?

JSG,
I would try the CLU website directly around game time. They have a section on the tourney, and I would not be surprised if they had video and/or live stats. They are usually pretty good about these items. I don't know for sure, but it is worth a try. Good Luck!

[Gray Fox]

I'm watching it now.  Top of the 9th.  2-2.

[dahlby]

Final has PP advancing 5-2. Good job by CLU with cameras and audio.

I'm watching it now.  Top of the 9th.  2-2.

Pomona 5, Oxy 2

Oxy 15 LOB, 0-for-17 RISP. Ouch.
