PVL BASEBALL SENDS THREE AFTER COIN FLIP

The Pioneer Valley League is sending three baseball teams into the post season which will see it's first pitch on Monday, May 14. The regular season play ended with Placer in first place but the remaining two spots were still up for grabs as there was a three way tie for the remaining two spots. The CIF held a coin flip where one team would receive an automatic bid and Colfax won that flip. That left Lincoln and Center on the wrong side of the coin. They were required to play a head to head contest on Friday for the final slot on the bracket.  The Fighting Zebras of Lincoln were led to an 11-3 victory in the contest over Center by their freshman shortstop Isaiah Garcia who went 5 for 5 from the plate.

Placer and Colfax will have home games in the first round where Lincoln will play on the road on Monday. If you would like to see the CIF Sac-Joaquin Div III section baseball playoff bracket click here.

BEAR RIVER SWIM TEAMS EARN PVL TITLE

The Bruin's boys and girls swim teams stand on the top step of the podium in the Pioneer Valley League as it's champion. The meet victory last week which was hosted at Bear River, qualify both teams to compete at sections, which will be held in Lodi on May 11 and 12. It was reported there was a school record that fell by one of the Bruin relay teams (I'm looking into the specifics). Bear River's standout swimmer Garrat Johnson will be attending Santa Clara University in the fall where he will be in the pool with it's water polo team. Fellow Bruin, Travis Marks has been accepted to Norwich Unv. in Vermont and he will continue to swim as well as Navy ROTC.
