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.

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…

In the bottom of the 9th, with 2 outs in an extra innings nailbiter, Cole Murgia put the team on his back and came through with the line drive RBI that led Acalanes to a 1-0 walk-off against Dublin High School in the first round of the NCS Playoffs on Tuesday night. Though the Dons put up hits throughout the…
Though the Dons secured the League title on Tuesday, Acalanes closed out the regular season and extended their perfect League record (12-0) Thursday night with a 3-1 win over Clayton Valley.
