CIF Baseball

Two familiar Moore League Baseball teams will be competing in the CIF Semi Finals at Blair Field Tuesday, May 31, 2011.

Lakewood H.S. ( 29-4-1) will take on Riverside North (a 6-2 winner over Dana Hills) after defeating #1 seed Edison (25-4) yesterday 3-1. It was first loss of the season for Owens (12-1), who threw a no-hitter in the first round and two hitless innings of relief in the second round Tuesday.

LB Wilson (26-6) will square off against Esperanza who defeated baseball powerhouse Mater Dei yesterday 5-1. In that game, Austin Pettibone pitched a complete game and Kevin Viers went 3 for 3 for Esperanza (22-10). Esperanza last played in a CIF-SS baseball semifinal in 2007, when the Aztecs lost to eventual Division 1 champion Long Beach Wilson.

There is still a lot of baseball to be played before reaching the finals but Tuesday should be an excellent evening of High School baseball in a beautiful facility to watch a game. Good luck to all and "may the force be with you".
