Ethan Lopez’s early homer sets tone as seventh-seeded Live Oak ends Mitty’s season in Division I quarterfinals.
SAN JOSE — Live Oak started a hard-throwing UCLA-bound pitcher on Saturday and had another flamethrower, one bound for Stanford, available just in case.
The Acorns will play Hollister, a 6-1 winner over St. Francis on Saturday, in the semifinals on Wednesday at the home of the San Jose Giants, Excite Ballpark.“Have some really talented players and they showed up today and got it done,” Live Oak coach Matt Brotherton said. “It’s been a long time coming getting a victory in the playoffs against a West Catholic League team. It took the loss last year to make them a little hungry and they showed up today to win.
Fired up, the Stanford-bound Keenan sauntered off the field to a joyful pack of teammates and then opened the seventh with a single to right. The day before the game, Brotherton said he talked to Lopez about the No. 3 hitter’s inconsistency at the plate, letting Lopez know that there was still time to make an impact.“It was a great feeling,” Lopez said. “I wanted to start off the game aggressive, try to catch them off guard. I got my pitch and I didn’t miss it.”
