The Vikings are up two spots in the latest CIF-SS polls and are on a three-game winning streak after a hard-fought series against the Saugus Centurions, both 3-2 victories.

Canyon 2

Golden Valley 5

The Grizzlies gave up just three hits in their series clinching win over the Cowboys.

TMU Baseball

The Mustangs need a big final week of the regular season to set up for the GSAC Tournament and postseason play. Their playoff aspirations took a bit of a hit on Saturday, dropping the double-header at Vanguard 9-2 and 8-3 losses.

TMU is 26-20 overall and 14-13 in the GSAC.

COC Athletics

Canyons Baseball continues to crush the ball in conference play, sweeping Citrus over the weekend and outscoring them 31-7 in three games. Which effectively sets up this week’s season-ending series against Glendale for the Western State Conference title. Series opens Tuesday in Glendale.

Canyons Softball split its final double-header of the season at Palomar on Saturday, and goes into its season finale at Mt. San Antonio with a 28-10-1 record. After Mt. SAC, the CCCAA postseason begins.

Santa Clarita Storm

Carlos Torres and John Lopez each scored in Saturday’s 2-2 draw against Sporting San Fernando, the first tie of the season for the Storm.

Santa Clarita is 2-4-1 this season.

Los Angeles Dodgers

The Dodgers are middling so far in April. They avoided the sweep in Arizona by beating the D-Backs 6-2 on Sunday, to get to 9-10 on the season.

As we all know, however, the baseball season is as long and grueling as professional sports seasons can be.

Tonight, LA travels up to San Francisco to renew one of the most bitter rivalries in sports. First pitch is at 7:15
