Rancho Bernardo Blasts Torrey Pines to Advance to Championship Game against the Mavericks
During the preseason tournaments the Broncos lost to the Mavericks twice. In the regular Palomar league season the Broncos lost to Torrey Pines twice to lose the Palomar League Championship to the Falcons.
In the CIF Open Division Playoffs it is a new slate. The Broncos beat Torrey Pines twice to knock them out of the playoffs.
The Number One Ranked Mavericks now face the Broncos with an opportunity to beat them for a third time this year and win a CIF Open Division Championship. The Championship Game is Saturday June 6th at 7:00 pm at USD's Fowler Park.
In the 2014 CIF Open Division Playoffs the Mavericks eliminated the Broncos in the Fourth Round by a score of 3-2. In the 2012 CIF Division II Championship Game the Mavericks edged the Broncos 7-6 in 10 innings.
The 2015 match up appears to be another close game.
LCC PITCHER BEATS AN OLD BUDDY
John Maffei - San Diego Union Tribune
La Costa Canyon 1 St. Augustine 0
St. Augustine left-hander jack Dashwood knows the La Costa Canyon hitters better than any pitcher in the County. Heck, he played with at least nine of the Mavericks on the Encinitas National Little League 11-12 All-Star team.
All grown up now, Dashwood was assigned Tuesday to beat his old friends. And he came close.
The junior gave up one run, but it was one too many as he lost a classic pitchers' duel to Julian McDonald and the Mavericks 1-0 in the fourth round of the San Diego Section Open Division Baseball Playoffs.
The victory vaulted top seeded LCC (26-6) into the title game on Saturday at 7 p.m. against second-seeded Rancho Bernardo (25-7) at USD's Fowler Park.
"We knew exactly what we were in for today," said LCC's Mickey Moniak, who walked with the bases loaded in the fifth inning to force in the game's only run. "Jack's a great pitcher, and St. Augustine has a great team. Jack's a good friend, too. I got a hit off him, but it was a jam shot. And really, I got lucky on the walk."
Dashwood, who fell to 9-4 with a 1.27 ERA this season, walked two and struck out four. He finished the season with seven walks and 90 strikeouts in 82 1/3 innings for the Saints (23-11).
On this day, McDonald was just a little bit better. The junior right-hander improved to 7-1 and lowered his ERA to 0.97. He worked out of a first inning jam, then retired 18 hitters in a row before Dashwood singled with one out in the seventh. Nico Anderson walked with two outs to push the tying run to second, but McDonald struck out the last batter to end the game.
"I played with Jack in Little League. I knew what kind of effort it would take to beat him," McDonald said. "This was a real dog fight against a great pitcher and a great team."
