Next week, a number of starters will be returning as well after football wraps up it’s…
The JV Dons have been eager to get back on the diamond and came out swinging in their season opener against College Park. They met a hungry opponent and the Falcons jumped out to an early lead. The Dons showed grit, turning some great plays, loosening up the pitching rotation and hitting the ball hard. Acalanes Dons JV watched the…
Baseball isn’t a timed game, but it is a game all about timing. Unfortunately, on Monday the Dons were on the wrong side of Father Time. Despite having many more base runners, the Dons couldn’t come up with timely hits, and fell 7-4 to a strong San Ramon Valley team. The Dons left six runners on base in the first…
After new guidance from state and county health officials, many things have changed for high school sports. Seasons for many different sports were moved around, and baseball season has now been slotted for April 5th though May 29th. Tryouts are not allowed before the season, so tryouts for all levels (Varsity, Junior Varsity and Freshman) will start on April 5th.…
Dons show up to share their Acalanes baseball stories to the future Dons As we know the Varsity Baseball season had their spring sport season cut short by COVID-19, with Seniors saddened to miss out on their last high school sports season. The 2020 Dons baseball season was guaranteed to be a golden season. The Acalanes Dons were…
There is nothing as sweet as a comeback, when you are down and out, about to lose, and out of time… The Freshman Baseball team traveled to Pleasanton to play Foothill High School on Wednesday evening with parents in the stands cheering on the Falcons and Dons. Dons took their first ups and could not get on base. The Falcons did…
Bouncing back hard from a 3-1 loss in the first game of a doubleheader, Acalanes won game two, 8-3 School rivalries are the backbone to any high school sporting event, especially in Lamorinda. Ultimately, rivalries provide for fun and spirited games. Victory is always sweet, but it is even sweeter when it is against a rival team. For the day,…
The Dons got their season underway this past week by becoming co-champions of the 2nd Annual Pittsburg Invitational Tournament, a tournament they also won last year. The tournament included all top D1 teams and ended up crowning co-champions because both semi-final games ended in ties, which led to having two “final” games. Dons win Game #1 (3-2) vs. Amador Valley…
Vacaville Bulldogs got the best of the Freshman Dons last Saturday 12-3. Maybe it was the long car ride or maybe it was all the headline coronavirus news, but the Dons just couldn’t match the Bulldogs hitting power this time around. Vacaville got on the board in the first inning, scattered a few more runs in the middle innings and…
The Freshman Baseball team opened their season with a double header at San Ramon Valley High last Saturday. A nervous first few innings landed the Dons in a deep deficit, but they managed to find their footing and started to get the bats going. Unfortunately it was a case of too little too late and they dropped the first game…
