Spring baseball scores are very important. The results determine how good your team is going to be. Mike Trout does not have a hit yet so Scioscia should not have him in the opening day lineup.
MVS was handed the wrong envelope on the Montebello and SG girls’ games. Those games were played on 2-16 and both locals lost. We sincerely apologize to the two teams, their coaches, as well as Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty.
