Do I want to smell cat piss or cat crap???
Bias: know more good people at Santiago
Besides, it would be nice for senior pitcher Romero .and crew.

Norco beats Pacifica (#1 team in the state) 3-2 in 10 innings. Santiago shuts out Yorba Linda (#2 team in the state) 6-0. Great jobs by both teams. This game is a toss up between two powerful programs for the second straight year.

These were the 2nd and 3rd place teams in the Big Eight league.

WAS the Big 8,,,,,this year it was Little 6.. 2 schools were removed from league due to crappy football teams and school size..Not that it would have mattered, just a short regular season for them.
Glad they could make it last longer.

Chino beats Oaks Christian 2-1 in 9 innings. Chino to finals second year in a row. Another IE team in the finals.

That's BS. The rule doesn't specifically address hitting off a tee and is contradictory about it. I say it certainly meets the intention of the rule - no pitching motion from in front of the batter. They lifted the ball from the side - it shouldn't matter that they set it on a tee.

Batting practice will be construed as any type of pitching motion with ANY type of ball from in front of the batter (including pitching machines, underhand tossing, overhand throwing or pepper). The only acceptable batting warmup will be side soft toss. The player who tosses the ball should be on a knee and to the side of the batter. The ball should be lifted, not pitched, to the batter.

If they used a tee, they will be DQ'd. A team last year used three tees to warm up, but they ended up losing so it was a non-issue, but the CIF official ruled if they had won, they would have been disqualified. A couple parents had the warm up on video. Only side toss is allowed, period. It is a BS rule, but CIF has good reason why they enforce it.
