HS BASE: Are you ready for some baseball?
FULLERTON -- Should be a good one tonight, as Crespi takes on Orange Lutheran in the championship game of the 19th annual National Classic tournament at Cal State Northridge.
E.C. McSweeney is scheduled to pitch for Crespi, which is coming off a long night after winning its semifinal 8-6 over St. Johns of Washington, D.C. in a Wednesday semifinal that didn't end until well after midnight.
The only Valley area to win the National Classic was Simi Valley over Irvine in 1993.
