I was at the Los Al games today. Lots of runs scored on some very good hitting. The pitching looked solid, and I saw very few errors (other than from my DD), but the hitting was impressive. I watched some of the Mission Viejo vs. Los Al game also. I don't know who the Mission Viejo pitcher was, but she had a very crafty release point with great movement. The Los Al kids were having a lot of trouble picking up those pitches early enough to drive them. And Los Al is a very strong offensive team.

That would be Taylor McQuillen, pitcher from the Batbusters, going to Oklahoma State. She is very good.

Great Oak beat Mater Dei 3-2 on a walkoff RBI double by the leadoff hitter.

Taylor M. is the real deal. And Great Oak is coached by Dave Mercado this year. He knows a little bit about this game

Who the heck is Great Oak? Do they even have any TB players?

They are a Temecula area High School and yes they do.

Well my Mission Viejo pick came through but what the heck happened to Pacifica? No offense all weekend. Oh well, 1 out of 2 is not too shabby...
