The Lady Colts were not to be denied when they met the Amador Valley Dons of Pleasanton on June 1 at St. Mary's College for the Division 1 championship of the North Coast Section of CCS play. Ranked #1 in the nation, the Lady Dons perfect record of 26-0 was impressive and posed a daunting task for the #20 nationally ranked Colts with a 23-1 record.
The game lived up to its advance billing as a collision of two powerhouse teams, leaving a scrappy James Logan team little room for error. Outstanding pitching by both teams created an epic defensive battle. Logan held a slim 1-0 lead going into the bottom of the seventh and final regular inning of play. Superb pitching and great defense had maintained the narrow margin for the Colts but holding on to the win came down to a critical play at home plate in the bottom of the seventh inning that denied a tying run by Amador Valley.
Final score: James Logan - 1 Amador Valley - 0
