Was at Vaca vs Benicia. Impressed with Vaca’s pitching depth and defense.Benicia hit the ball, but that Vaca defense is very solid. They’re no slouch at the plate either.

FRIDAY - the SM Daily Journal
Baseball
Hillsdale 1, Sacred Heart Prep 0
It took someone 10 innings to finally knock off first-place Sacred Heart Prep in PAL Bay Division play.Hillsdale finally broke through in a scoreless game, rallying for a walk-off win on a Matthew Leong RBI single in the bottom of the 10th. The Knights had the bases loaded with one out when Leong shot a long fly ball to center that fell to score Antonio Paolinelli with the game-winner. Hillsdale starting pitcher Jason Alba was nails in just his third start of the year. The junior fired seven shutout innings, allowing just one hit. Jaxon Skidmore entered in the eighth and fired three no-hit innings to combine on the one-hitter.

Gunderson 8, Sequoia 5
Sequoia (2-12 overall) rallied late but it wasn’t enough to get past Gunderson-San Jose in non-league play. The loss marks the eighth straight for Sequoia. The Cherokees trailed 8-1 heading to the bottom of the seventh and rallied for four runs, then loaded the bases to bring the potential winning run to the plate. Paul Garcia had an RBI double in the seventh for Sequoia. Travis Mathieu made his first start of the year for the depleted Cherokees, allowing five runs (four earned) on six hits over three innings. His record falls to 0-2. Kian Mirkia made his varsity debut at shortstop for Sequoia, tabbing two hits.

St. Francis-Watsonville 3, Carlmont 1
Contact was at a premium as each team struck out 11 times, but St. Francis-Watsonville was able to break a 1-1 tie by generating a two-run rally in the fourth inning against Scots starting pitcher Jordan Brandenburg. Brandenburg totaled six punch-outs and reliever Lucas Billot emerged in the sixth and struck out five over two shutout frames for Carlmont (9-7 overall).

Valley is having a special season and Bellarmine and Serra are loaded too. I can’t remember the last time St. Francis was blown out, the game was 12-1 before the starters came out. Mitty can be that surprise team flying under the radar definitely a contender. Next few weeks are going to be exciting. Not counting Sacred Heart Cathedral out either.
