NCS baseball: San Leandro shocks defending Division I champ Amador Valley
By Jimmy Durkin
SAN LEANDRO -- There was only one appropriate way for San Leandro High to respond after its 20-victory season was rewarded with the No. 14 seed in the North Coast Section Division I baseball playoffs: win.
The Pirates did that Tuesday at San Leandro Ball Park, upsetting No. 3 seed and defending Division I section champion Amador Valley 3-1.
Kevin Nava pitched a four-hitter and San Leandro (21-6) scratched out its runs with small ball to move on to the quarterfinals Saturday at No. 6 Foothill, which beat 11-seed Deer Valley 6-2.
Newark Memorial 3, Clayton Valley Charter 0: Junior William Traynor pitched a three-hit shutout as the No. 14 Cougars (17-8) upset the third-seeded Eagles (22-5) in the first round of the NCS Division II playoffs. Traynor finished with four strikeouts and also gave Newark Memorial its first run with an RBI triple in the fifth inning.
