Quotable:
Baseball Census & Summer League owner, Nico Calderaro: “First and foremost, we are completely overwhelmed with the trust and support of college coaches around the country to allow us to provide an opportunity for their players to develop over the summer. It was a long and difficult decision to create our own collegiate league as opposed to one that was already in place, but we decided to take the leap and create an environment we can control and one that will help facilitate the development of student-athletes over the summer. Our primary goal is for the players to return to their schools healthy, get stronger, and develop their skills on the baseball field. With the Portal changing the landscape of recruiting, we hope to help the players that believed in us by creating an edge by playing in competitive games with some of the best talent Southern California has to offer.”
Baseball: The Orange County Juice needed a win and a Ventura County loss on Thursday to make the playoffs in the inaugural season of the Baseball Census Collegiate Summer League. They got neither and Orange County will miss out on the postseason. After leading 4-0 and 6-3, the Arroyo Seco Sentinels scored two runs apiece […]
Baseball: Ventura County sure picked a good time to get hot. After being out of the playoff race and losing 10 consecutive games, the Bucs closed out the regular season 7-0-2 and they earned the No. 4 spot after Thursday’s 6-4 victory over the Arroyo Seco Royals. The top four programs in the six-team Baseball […]
Baseball: They weren’t even supposed to be there. This same Covina ‘White’ team finished second in the Covina Baseball Association League to Covina Red. They went 0-2 against the Red in the regular season. But Covina White started their postseason journey at Goddard Middle School, where they went 2-2. They defeated Ventura County and Santa […]
Baseball: The Ventura County Bucs trailed 3-0 in the top of the eighth inning of their must-win contest against the first-place Arroyo Seco Sentinels on Wednesday.

Baseball: The California Outlaws wrapped up second place in the inaugural regular season of the Baseball Census Collegiate Summer League.

Baseball: The Orange County Juice and San Gabriel Valley Monarchs had arguably the best pitchers’ duel of the Baseball Census Collegiate Summer League regular season. Both programs featured four pitchers each, and they provided eight scoreless innings apiece. The Juice got one run in the top of the ninth inning and the Monarchs matched them […]
Baseball: The San Gabriel Valley Monarchs trailed the Orange County Juice from the top of the first inning to the bottom of the eighth. The SGVM, however, scored four runs in that decisive eighth inning and picked up a 9-7 victory over the Juice. With a couple games to play in the Baseball Census Collegiate […]
Baseball: And just like that, the Ventura County Bucs are in the mix to make the postseason. A couple weeks ago, the VCB was riding a 10-game losing streak after a great start to the inaugural Baseball Census Collegiate Summer League season. They found themselves, however, in fifth of a six-team lead. Fast forward to […]
Baseball: The Ventura County Bucs pulled to within one-half game of the fourth place Orange County Juice on Sunday.
