Granada wins 2024 East Bay Athletic League baseball tournament championship after Jake Sekany strikes out 14 in come-from-behind victory over SRV
Granada pitcher Jake Sekany celebrates with his team after defeating San Ramon Valley in the seventh inning of their East Bay Athletic League baseball tournament championship game at Granada High School in Livermore, Calif., on Friday, May 10, 2024. Granada defeated San Ramon Valley 6-4. LIVERMORE – Even when Granada was down by one, two, three then four runs, Jake Sekany maintained an unshakable faith in his best pitch during the East Bay Athletic League tournament championship game.
“After they scored those runs, I felt more confident than ever,” a chilly Sekany said after his teammates doused him in ice water. “I actually didn’t throw that slider until this season, but it’s been really effective for me.” Jake Hensley had two RBIs at the bottom of SRV’s batting order, and Lucas Glazier hit a double and drove in a run. Steady first baseman Julian Cambra also went 1 for 3 with an RBI as San Ramon Valley jumped out to 4-0 lead at the end of three innings.
“Every time I go out, he’s been lobbying to stay in,” Willis said. “This is the first time I actually agreed with him … he proved himself right.” Mikey Boyd’s double, Granada’s fourth of the inning, broke the deadlock and gave Sekany the cushion he needed. The starter’s 14 strikeouts blew away his previous season-high of nine, set against Dougherty and Reno-Nevada.
