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".

Savage Challenges His Bruins
"We have to get a lot better," UCLA Coach John Savage said. "We're an average team right now. We know we have abilities to be real good, but we need a different mind-set and a different approach because the one that's out there right now is clearly not working."
UCLA (8-6), once ranked No. 2 in the nation in one poll, continues to suffer from hitting woes. The Bruins were held to four hits and wasted a good pitching performance by freshman Adam Plutko, who struck out eight in six innings in a disappointing 2-0 loss to USC (5-10).
With Dodger Dogs going for half price, Nancy Bea Hefley playing the organ and the USC and UCLA bands playing their schools' fight songs, the baseball game Sunday at Dodger Stadium between USC and UCLA produced an entertaining atmosphere for the crowd of 11,680....truly an excellent event.

Moore League Teams Take a Hit
Lakewood and Wilson will meet in the Loara Tournament Saturday, March 12 at Glover Stadium in La Palma at 3PM, but it will not be for first place. Both schools were defeated in the semi-finals and will play each other for 3rd place.
It was just one of those days for the Lancers. Lakewood fell behind 3-0 in the top of the second, and gave up another four in the top of the fourth—that’s where it stayed until a nightmare seventh inning that saw them giving up 12 runs in their eventual 19-0 loss to Vista Murrieta.
Wilson (3-1) was locked up in a tough 1-0 contest with top ranked Edison until the 6th inning, when Edison rolled a 7. The Bruins did manage to push 2 runs across in the 7th but came up short losing 8-2.
The Rams fell to 1-3 with this loss to Woodbridge. Millikan took an early 1-0 lead in the top of the first, but gave it away in the bottom of the same inning, then fell behind 4-1 in the third, and struggled to stem the tide defensively. The Rams will try to bounce back on Saturday against Diamond Bar.

Semifinals - Loara Tournament
It's the semifinals of the Loara tournament on Thursday, and the featured match up happens at 7 p.m. at Glover Field in Anaheim. It will be Huntington Beach Edison (3-0) taking on Long Beach Wilson (3-0). Huntington Beach Edison defeated Sonora, 3-2 to get to the semi-final. Christian Lopes hit a home run and Henry Owens came in to pick up the save. Wilson defeated Cypress 2-1, Buckle hit a home run and recorded the win from the mound. Wilson will use junior standout Chase DeJong. Edison has not announced it's starter but they won't be using ace Henry Owens.
The other semifinal at 3 p.m. matches Lakewood (3-0) and Vista Murrieta (3-0). Lakewood banged out eight hits, three for extra bases, to defeat Servite 4-2. Lakewood scored early when Tyler Leidholdt was hit by pitch in the first inning and scored one batter later on an RBI double by Nick Torres. Two innings later, JP Crawford doubled and scored on a Tyler Schultz single to extend the lead to 2-0. Jacob Worrell then tripled in Schultz to give Gidley all the support he would need. Servite (2-1) scored two sixth-inning runs. Darrell Miller Jr., the son of former Angels catcher Darrell Miller, had two of Servite's four hits.
The possibility of an all Long Beach final speaks highly of the Moore League and the strong traditions of baseball at both Wilson and Lakewood. Should be a good semi and as even better final.
