SAN JOSE — Pitching is a key part of any baseball team’s playoff run.
The way Valley Christian’s pitchers were throwing on Wednesday, the Warriors may have quite a bit of success for the rest of this playoff season.
Valley put on a pitching showcase in the Central Coast Section Division I semifinal at Excite Ballpark in San Jose, holding Los Gatos to one run and consistently escaping jams by limiting the damage. And the Warriors finally gave their hurlers some run support in the late innings, plating one in the fourth and three in the fifth.
That was plenty on a night where starter Quinten Marsh and reliever Rohan Kasanagottu combined to allow one earned run and strike out 11 batters, powering Valley Christian to a 4-2 win.
Valley Christian will face Serra for the Division I championship on Saturday. Both teams qualified for the CIF NorCal regional tournament, and their season will continue into next week.
