2011 USA Baseball Tournament of Stars presented by Major League Baseball

CIF Baseball - Div.IV
What a great semifinal in Southern Section Division 4. La Puente Bishop Amat and Torrance play Tuesday night at USC. Palm Desert and Westlake Village Oaks Christian play Tuesday afternoon at College of the Desert.
Bishop Amat has revenge on its mind. It was Torrance that defeated the Lancers in the championship game of the Redondo tournament. Infielder Trent Gilbert of Torrance has put together back-to-back terrific seasons. He has 51 hits in his senior year. Last season, he had 58 hits and 45 RBIs. He has signed with Arizona.
Palm Desert gets home-field advantage, but Oaks Christian has Travis Radke on the mound, and his curveball can be very effective.
The winners advance to the championship game Thursday at Dodger Stadium. All four teams are worthy of making it.

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".
