Granada will play St. Mary’s-Stockton at home in NorCal championship game on Saturday
Granda pitcher Parker Warner reacts after the last strike out against De La Salle High in the seventh inning of NorCal Division I semifinal game at Granada High School in Livermore, Calif., on Thursday, May 30, 2023. The Matadors won 5-0. But this time around, it was much different.
After winning the last two Division I NorCal championships, De La Salle’s season ended in the semifinals. A team-wide sickness forced some of the Spartans’ key starters to sit out Thursday’s game, including power-hitting junior Alec Blair. “There’s a bigger picture besides high school baseball, and he’s got a future at Santa Clara,” Jeans said. “ If I run him out there today and he does something to his arm because he’s trying to be the guy and help the team, that’s where I have to step in and make a decision.”
Granda’s Riley Winchell score past De La Salle catcher Zach Tchejeyan in the fifth inning of NorCal Division I semifinal game at Granada High School in Livermore, Calif., on Thursday, May 30, 2023. The Matadors won 5-0. When Warner retired the final batter of the game, the packed stands at Granada’s field gave the Matadors a standing ovation. Groups of kids lined up near the Granada dugout to snag autographs from their favorite players.
