staff report

North Coast Section Division I Baseball Playoffs — First Round

No. 1 Amador Valley 7, No. 16 San Leandro 0

Records: Amador Valley 22-3, San Leandro 16-9

The Star: Nick Piscotty threw a complete-game two hitter as top-seeded Amador Valley breezed through its first round game with San Leandro.

The Turning Point: With Piscotty cruising and the Dons already ahead 4-0, they added another three runs in the third to create an insurmountable lead.

What's next? The Dons will host No. 8 Deer Valley (20-4) on Saturday at 5 p.m.

The Bottom Line: Amador, which is ranked No. 11 in the state by Cal-Hi Sports, won its 11th-straight game to setup a quarterfinal matchup with Deer Valley. The Dons lost 5-0 to Wolverines in the quarters in the 2007 season, but figure to be decisive favorites this time around.
