As stated by Streak and SacCoachA -
What a week it has been for the Serra baseball team. With the Padres making the trip to Sacramento to play in the third annual Boras Baseball Classic, they put in quite the early-morning schedule ramping up for the prestigious 32-team statewide tournament. Not only did the Padres report to the Serra campus at 5:30 a.m. Tuesday morning in order to make their 10 a.m. opener in the first game of a double header at Sacramento's McAuliffe Stadium. Serra also reported for a 5:30 a.m. practice Monday to acclimate to the early-morning schedule. The strategy seems to have paid off as Serra won both games of Tuesday's twin bill. The Padres took the opener 3-2 over Pleasant Grove. In the 1 p.m. nightcap, Serra took a scoreless tie with Granite Bay into extra frames before winning it 2-0 in 12 innings. "All this is going to develop your toughness and this is why we do it," Serra manager Craig Gianinno said. "It was a testament to their commitment to each other and just staying together and hanging in there. Unfortunately we needed to hang in there a little bit longer than we wanted to." With the win, Serra advances through the winner's bracket to play in Wednesday's Northern California semifinal against archrival St. Francis at 7 p.m.
