PVS strikes out Ali Giannavola. One down.

Breanna Betschel beats out and infield single and Canyon has runners on first and second.

Paulina Anasis grounds one back to PVS and she gets the lead runner at third. Two down.

Hailey Hilburn flies out to right field to end the game.

I have the Mobile OCVarsity Media Center set up at Canyon High for the CIF-SS Division 1 second-round game between future Century League-rivals Yorba Linda and Canyon.

I’m expecting a pitching duel between San Diego-committed Paige von Sprecken of YL and Utah-commited Hailey Hilburn of Canyon, which means a Beer League slugfest could break out.

No time to mess around.

IT’S TIIIIIIIIIIME!!!

Yorba Linda, are you ready?

Canyon, are you ready?

LET’S GET IT ON!!!!
