Former South Torrance baseball star Vance Albitz continues to light it up for UC San Diego in the NCAA Division II World Series in Cary, N.C. On Tuesday, Albitz went 3-for-6 with two RBIs in UC San Diego's 13-1 win over Dowling. The win kept UC San Diego alive in the double-elimination tournament.

UC San Diego now has to beat Emporia St. today and Friday in order to get to the World Series championship game on Saturday. Albitz is a junior shortstop for UC San Diego and a two-time all-conference selection.

Ciniglio graduated from Malibu High (home of the mighty Sharks) in 1997 as part of the school's second graduating class before attending powerhouse Pepperdine (Class of 2001), thus shattering any reader's preconceived notion that he has any personal bias when it comes to South Bay Preps.

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.
