Santa Clarita High School Softball
Norco knocked off a Foothill League team deep in the playoffs for the second straight year.
Valencia was able to manufacture a run, but the Cougars were able to squeeze a little bit more offense out of the game than the Vikings in an otherwise even matchup to slip out of Santa Clarita with a 2-1 win.
Shea O’Leary pitched another complete game striking out five batters and allowing just the two runs. The sophomore returns to this Valencia squad as one of the top pitchers in the area next season.

Los Angeles Dodgers
Tonight, the Dodgers (25-23) open a weekend series with the New York Mets at Citi Field and its a big day for the organization.
Nineteen-year-old left-hander Julio Urias is set to make his Major League debut Friday against Jacob deGrom. The Mexican international was called up from Triple-A after Alex Wood was scratched with a sore triceps.
He is the youngest Dodgers’ pitching prospect to earn a Major League start in over 35 years. The last? One, Fernando Valenzuela, a fellow left-handed phenom.
