Baseball: And then there was one Baseline League team remaining in the CIF-SS baseball playoffs. Rancho Cucamonga used three pitchers to edge a very scrappy La Sierra team, 5-4, in Tuesday’s second round of the D-4 playoffs. Nicolas Sanchez earned the win, going 3 1/3 innings and allowing two runs on two hits. He walked […]
Baseball: Monrovia opened the playoffs last Friday with a seven-run victory over Alhambra, as Coleman Mitchell shut out the Moors and struck out 10. On Tuesday, Chantz Powers got the ball from skipper Brad Blackmore, and the Wildcats’ senior didn’t waste his opportunity to dominate. Powers threw a four-hit shutout in Monrovia’s 3-0 victory over […]
Photos by Mrs. Masucci Baseball: A lot of people have openly questioned the depth of the Ayala High School pitching staff. So far, though, it’s been good enough to claim a Palomares League championship and earn a spot in Friday’s CIF-SS Division 1 quarterfinal round. The Bulldogs got out to an early 3-0 in the […]
Baseball: It’s not by accident that Harvard Westlake is ranked fifth in the state by MaxPreps. And they sure left an impression at Arcadia on Tuesday afternoon. The Wolverines, fresh off another Mission League championship, dropped the hammer, 13-0, over the Apaches, in the second round of the CIF-SS Division 1 playoffs. Harvard Westlake out-hit […]
Thanks to Chris Karp for the photos: Baseball: The 2021 season ended sooner than Marshall Fundamental would have preferred, but a second round defeat in the D-6 playoffs is just one blemish during an historic season for the Eagles. Marshall Fundamental made a 104-mile trip to Barstow and before they could get loose, the Aztecs […]
Baseball: Yucaipa got out to an early 5-0 lead and never trailed in Tuesday’s CIF-SS Division 1 second-round game. The Thunderbirds gave up six runs in the final three innings, but held on for a 9-7 victory over visiting Damien. Yucaipa got five runs (three earned) off of Dylan Alanis in two innings and four […]
Photos by Gwen Pointer Baseball: Don’t look now, but that tough schedule Charter Oak played in the regular season helped prepare the Chargers for the playoffs. And that’s exactly how COHS coach Elias Chavez planned it. After a first-round victory over the Hacienda League champions from Los Altos, Charter Oak knocked off 21-4 Woodbridge by […]
Baseball: For the most part, Bonita has relied heavily on two pitchers (Luke Mistone & Edrian Rangel) for their success in 2021, and they did so again in Tuesday’s second round of the CIF-SS Division 2 playoffs. Edrian Rangel went 5 1/3 scoreless innings to get the win, and Luke Mistone retired the final four […]
Softball: They say all good things must come to an end. But to be accurate, the 2021 softball season for the Azusa Aztecs was much better than “good.” After a perfect run through Montview League play and a first-round playoff victory, the Aztecs fell, 4-2, in the second round of the CIF-SS Division 6 playoffs […]
Editors Note: The scores and schedule came directly from the CIF-Southern Section website.

Baseball: Division 1 Scores: JSerra had a bye Capistrano Valley 8, Chaminade 3 Yucaipa 15, Vista Murrieta 4 Damien 2, South […]
Softball: Tatiana Foor did it again. The RHP junior put the Kares on her back and defeated Bloomington, 2-1, in the second round of the CIF-SS Division 6 playoffs. Foor went the distance, allowing one unearned run on four hits. She walked one and struck out 13. And consider the fact that her offense was […]
Softball: Apparently there’s a reason Upland is 22-2. Through the first five innings of play on Saturday at Glendora High School, the Highlanders’ bats were pretty quiet and trailed 2-1. Upland, though, erupted for seven runs in the top of the sixth inning and went on to defeat the Tartans, 8-2, in the second round […]
Softball: San Dimas sure picked a good time to peak. The Saints defeated visiting Warren, 3-2, in Saturday’s second round of the CIF-SS Division 2 playoffs.

Softball: Azusa, which is having their best season in recent memory, grinded out a one-run victory over Indio in Thursday’s first round of the CIF-SS Division 6 playoffs.

Baseball: It seems that every time the Rancho Cucamonga baseball team gets knocked on its butt, they get up and take a step forward. RCHS entered the playoffs after a disappointing three-game sweep at the hands of the Baseline League champions from Damien. The Cougars finished fourth and had to travel to Orange County in […]
Photos by Chris Karp & Stephen Delgado Baseball: Travis Delgado was going to make sure Marshall Fundamental had a second-round playoff game next week.

Baseball: Bonita made a 103-mile drive out to La Quinta in the first round of the CIF-SS Division 2 playoffs.
