Softball: Glendora, Bishop Amat advance to championship games; San Dimas loses heartbreaker, 3-1 in 15 innings

Glendora: I just go word that Glendora knocked off defending champion Pacifica, 3-1, to advance to the the Division II championship on Friday or Saturday at Deanna Manning Stadium in Irvine. Unbelievable win Tartans.
Bishop Amat: The Lady Lancers are going to play for their first title in school history after knocking off Downey, 7-4, in the Division IV champoinship.
San Dimas: Give it up to the wild-card Saints, taking the top seed to the 15th inning before finally losing in the Division V semifinals, 3-1, to Torrance.

Good luck to both SGV Softball teams in the finals.
lancer softball,
You're right, that's why I said I wasn't certain -they lost to Charter Oak and Fullerton in the DII finals.
Do they have the runner-up banners? I've just never noticed them.
Of course, with the Boys Basketball team being as bad as it is - I spend less time in there than before!
Joe Amat:
Don't get too cocky. Lancer softball was in the CIF finals in 93 and 94.
knowitall,
I'm not certain they've ever been to the finals either - I think FJR is right.
I don't recall any Gold CIF Runner-Up banners in the gym.(Blue for Champions, Gold for Runners up, White for Semi-finals)
I may be wrong...but I doubt it.
i was wrong. i read it wrong. i saw that after i posted. no they have not won a title. they have been in the finals 2 or more times. hey we all make mistakes from time to time
Fred can a old story be brought up once it's removed
KnowItall, like Fred said, Lancers are playing for their first title. They've never one it before, have they?
The Saints game was amazing. If it wasn't for Torrance just about taking out the pitcher things might have been different. Lots of returners for next year so keep watching sports fans.
get ur facts straight fred. lady lancers have been to the finals in softball before.
Congrats Lady Tartans .
Fight On

Well, if I'm being honest, I'd have to go with Torrance. They're 27-4 and play in the toughest league. At least the Saints get them at home, but hey, momentum is everything and the Saints have it at the moment so who knows?
Fred, who do you like in the San Dimas game? go SD
