Offensive switch gets turned from cold to very hot as the Dons batter the Broncos’ bullpen. The JV squad had a tale of two cities on Tuesday and Thursday afternoon this week against league foe Northgate. Facing the best starter Northgate had to offer In Lafayette on Tuesday, hits were hard to come by, a true winter of despair in…
The Varsity Baseball team opened league play on Tuesday against the Northgate Broncos in Walnut Creek. It was a beautiful, sunny day for baseball and the Dons did not disappoint. They jumped out to a commanding 9-0 lead after 5 innings, before cruising to a 9-3 win to push their record to 15-0! Workhorse Peter Thorn got the start on…
Make-Up Game More Dark Comedy Than Fans Hoped For. Maybe Petaluma was a little peeved that they had to drive an hour and a half to Acalanes in some rain, play four outs, and then drive another hour and a half home after a torrential atmospheric pineapple river express rained out their non-league matchup with the Acalanes JV a month…
The Varsity Baseball team handily beat the Vintage Crushers in the Championship game of the Concord Classic 7-1 on Wednesday to push their impressive record to 14-0.

The Varsity Baseball team took on one of their local rivals on Thursday at home and walked away with a tight 1-0 win to push their undefeated record to 11-0. Senior hurler Peter Thorn threw a complete game no hitter with some absolutely filthy pitches that had Matador hitters guessing all game. He gave up no hits, a walk, a…
The Varsity Baseball team posted another workman like victory against the Pinole Valley Spartans on Tuesday in Lafayette to push their record to 10-0. Ken Souza Field has never looked better. The grass had just been cut, the skies were blue and the boys continued their winning ways. Fans are turning out in record numbers to see this impressive club…
There was so much scoring in Pinole on Tuesday afternoon that one might think that they were in Panama City Beach or South Padre Island in the middle of March, not on an all-dirt infield between the Pinole Dog Park and the Pinole Skate Park. It seems that the scenic batter’s eye of trees on a mountain past center field…
The Dons didn’t know what to think when they suddenly were looking up from a 2-run deficit after just one-half inning Monday afternoon at Ken Souza Field. No one will admit to taking the visitors from Walnut Creek lightly, but they do own a 11-0 loss to Miramonte this season and entered the game 0-3 in their league play. With…
