Baseball Final Four Week

Well ... made it back from the California Community College Softball Championships in one piece (and managed to complete the homework assignments in between games)! Had a great four days in SoCal - great weather, great tournament action - and met up with some ol' friends and colleagues (Mt. San Antonio College won its third title in the last five years). But, no rest for the weary, as this week I will help staff the annual Final Four Baseball State Championships at Fresno City College's John Euless Ballpark. The FCC RAMS will host Cypress, Riverside, and Sacramento. Action starts Saturday with games at 12noon and 6pm. During my weekly (Monday) visit on 1550-AM Sporting News Radio, I mentioned that these four storied-programs have combined for 17 California championship titles! So, we couldn't ask for a better tournament field. Euless Ballpark should be rockin', especially when the RAMS play Saturday night. If you've never been before, it's a great college baseball atmosphere come playoff time. As an FCC grad, I will be pulling for the RAMS ... as the CVC Sports Publicist, I will be doing this, of course, very quietly and in a professional manner. If you can't make it out, tune in to 1550 Sporting News Radio or on the net at 1550snr.com. Stay tuned ...

Welcome, Sports Fans ...

By popular demand, there is now a blog home for all things related to Central Valley Conference Athletics! (Actually, it's only a class project and the demand is from Dr. Sailor, but as far as we know, this is the only site for regular updates to highlight our great teams) Enjoy it while it lasts, and feel free to add comments and news about your favorite two-year college in California.

This week, and for the 10th consecutive year (I started young), I will be working at the California Community College State Softball Championships in Chino Hills. The top eight teams in the state will be competing for the title during the three-day event ... unfortunately no teams from the CVC qualified, as four of our teams were eliminated in the NorCal regionals. Myself and a colleague from Pasadena will be broadcasting all of the games on the internet (coasports.org) ... so in between games I will be writing batting lineups in my scorebook and finishing homework for KIN 710/730! In the mornings, I plan to play some golf in that SoCal sun ... uhh, I mean, stay locked in my hotel room and complete my assignments.

Keep you posted ...
