Sonoma Valley High’s baseball season ends with a shut-out

San Anselmo's school advances while the Dragons have only memories|

The baseball season ended just one game into the NCS playoffs for the Sonoma Valley Dragons on Wednesday night, as they could only scratch together two hits over seven innings in a 6-0 loss to San Anselmo’s Drake High School.

“I thought we were outplayed from the beginning,” Dragons Coach Don Lyons said after the game. But they kept it close through four innings, 1-0. Then the Drake Pirates pushed across three runs in the fifth inning, and two more in the sixth to end up making the next level of Division 3 playoff competition.

Dragon pitchers gave up six hits and walked six more. The only two Dragon hits came off the bats of Mac Scott and Nico DeTorres. Nick Roth was the winning pitcher for the Pirates, striking out six and walking none.

The season tally for the Dragons varsity team was 14-13, 5-7 in league play. But they grabbed the SCL championship for 2016, and that can’t be taken away from them.
