Santa Clarita High School Baseball
Tuesday Scoreboard:
9 Hart: 1
Valencia: 2
It doesn’t seem to matter how many all-League players Valencia Baseball loses to graduation each year. Much like the football program, it continues to retool and stay among the best Santa Clarita has to offer.
Lukas White pitched a masterful complete game (2 hits allowed on just 71 pitches) and the Vikings clinched a CIF playoff berth for an incredible 18th consecutive season.
Hart has been the best team in the Foothill League all season, but the Indians can fall into a share of the league title with a season-ending loss to Valencia on Thursday and a West Ranch win over Golden Valley.
West Ranch: 12
Golden Valley: 4
Sophomore Nicholas Perez went 3-for-4 with four RBIs as the Wildcats thrust themselves back into contention for a share of the Foothill League title.
Saugus: 8
Canyon: 9
Shane Halstead hit the walk-off single in the eighth inning to give the Cowboys a 9-8 win over Saugus.
The Cowboys were 2-27 in 2017, and with a win Thursday at Saugus, they have a chance to end the season above .500 at 14-13. Incredible turnaround.
Lancaster Baptist: 0
6 Trinity: 7
The Knights won their eighth in a row and close the regular season Thursday against Lancaster.
