Reds(18) catcher Pete Hernandez steals third in the fourth inning of the Reds(18) 13-0 win over the Giants at Willow Glen. The young Reds(18) manager (Medina), stroking his 11-1 ego all week, was billing the game as a battle for league supremacy between last year's Central Champ Reds and National Champ Giants. The experienced Giants, having already proven their dominance years ago in professional ball when the Reds were still in grammar school, had other plans as their former Major Leaguers (Lorin Grow, Ron Dunn), former Triple-A players (Mike Denevi, John Yandle, Ric Foley), and top five pitchers decided to take advantage of the non-divisional weekend and enjoy family vacations. This just in. The SJMSBL ERA-VS-ERA Fantasy Game just had a meltdown as the 2009 Reds(18), trailing 23-0, couldn't get out of the first inning against the 12-time SJMSBL Champion Giants of the 90's.

Reds(18) left fielder José "Choco" Rodrigues goes deep over the left field fence in the fourth inning of game one in the doubleheader between the Reds(18) and the A's(18) at Del Mar.

Eddie Rodarte is the A's(18) catcher. (Photo submitted by José Medina).

A's(18) catcher Luis Cardenas smacks a 350-foot two-run home run in the second inning of game one of the A's(18) doubleheader against the Astros(18) at Independence High School. Cardenas had quite a game going 4-for-4 with 3 RBI'S and 3 runs scored. The A's(18) swept the Astros(18) winning game one 21-3 and game two 10-7. Daniel Rideau is the Astros(18) catcher.
