Baseball is back!

Clovis East High with their first win of the season against Righetti on the road.

Huge late game rally for the Wolves. Shut out Righetti.

Righetti was fresh off of shutting out Stockdale as well. Great team win.

Clovis High with a sweep this week with their games. They will be a fun team to watch for.

Clovis West High with a 2-1 start this week. One of my teams to watch in the pre season. They have some heavy hitters and could be a team I will pick to make a run at sections.

Buchanan High with a split this week. As soon as I move them up in my rankings they prove me wrong with another loss. It could be a down year for the Bears. They still could be a force at the end.

Stockdale High with a split this weekend. Blanked by Righetti High who just lost to East High.

Liberty High with a sweep this weekend. They could be hitting stride at the right time. Always have been a force down south.

Centennial High with a sweep this week. They beat Clovis North High handily. North High has a ton of youth so I will give them a pass. Better games ahead for North High. Centennial High looks good so far.

Bakersfield Christian High is hitting stride. They have put some impressive scores up. Beating Kerman High 12-5 and finishing the week off with a win against Fresno High. Fresno High is a tough team and their Manager is respected by the people I listen to. East High struggled with Fresno high.

Central split the week with Liberty and beat Redwood. Think this year's trac is going to be fun to follow

East High with a huge win against my top 10 Centennial High.

Great defense, pitching, and batting.

As I predicted they may have a slow start but will come on strong. Two in a row of the T-Wolves. Seems a lot like last year if they improve. Excited for the players and looking forward to League play!

Kingsburg 2 Clovis West 1 in 8 innings. Not a great start to the season for a team that was preseason top 25 in the state.

Does anyone have results from the Coca Cola Classic games?  It doesn't seem that any newspapers are covering, can't find anything on any preseason tourneys.

[BallGuy]

Most teams fled the coca cola tourney...Central held their own tournament with most of the teams that used to be in it.

[chingata]

why did most teams decline to do the coca classic? 

[BallGuy]

Stuff that happened last year, and Clovis taking a blow torch to relationships that have been established for years. But hey, they got a win with an asterisks because they are buddies with the TRAC president. I'm sure their 4th or 5th place in league was worth the thousands they are losing now tho

Neither tournament is posting the scores/records/runs allowed so the public know what's going on. That should be cleaned up in the future. Is Central still calling it the Nishikawa Classic? I think that's what they called it when my buddy's teams played in it when CN first opened.

Thanks Harry Carey!  That's a legit field.

I thought the heat was on CP for pitchgate...only storm and scharton are holdovers. Are schools staying away because of those two guys? Kinda weird.

[Governor]

Good to see that there is very competitive baseball being played. It is a true testimony for how good baseball is in our area. Kudos to the players and coaches for putting it on the line thus far.


It is shaping up to be one's of the best seasons in recent memory.


With all the games getting cancelled/moved it is hard to keep track on who is playing and who is not. Post scores if you have them! Thanks.


East High lost another tough one to the Edison High Tigers yesterday. Never hit stride in that one. Hoping we can be a force during the middle/end of the year.

Scharton was leading that one with a friend that heads up TRAC. Doesn't matter much now. But yeah, that's how the other tournament started.

That's interesting. Scharton is coaching the catchers this year and I wasn't sure he was coming back at all.
