Peninsula's baseball team stayed in the middle of the playoff race in the Bay League with a triumphant 5-4 win at West Torrance on Friday. Tyron Hicks' two-run double and Hunter Nakano's RBI single keyed a four-run sixth inning to spark Peninsula, which has now opened the league season with splits against both West and Palos Verdes.
"This was a huge win for us, it puts us back in the race for the Bay League and for a playoff berth," Peninsula coach Dennis Gonsalves said.
Peninsula did it the hard way, losing the first game in both two-game series' before coming back to win the second game in each.
"The kids played great and showed a lot of resiliency," Gonsalves said.

So glad you started this blog! It's fun to see all the action in one place here!
If you guys take pictures of Avery ~ I'd love to buy some. I got a great shot last year from the Daily Breeze site.

Dave Thorpe was a self-proclaimed, slightly above average baseball player back in the day at Torrance's West High, who went on and had an unspectacular, injury-riddled stint as a third baseman at El Camino College. Trading bat for pen, Thorpe wrote sports for the Long Beach Union newspaper at Long Beach State University, then worked as the sports editor for the Palos Verdes Peninsula News for seven years before climbing down the Hill to the Daily Breeze, where he has been a sports writer covering local sports for more than two years.
