There are only two Long Beach baseball and softball teams left alive in the CIF Southern Section playoffs, and they’re very similar. Wilson softball and St. Anthony baseball are both playing semifinals today, and both are trying to win their first ever CIF-SS championships after underachieving regular seasons.
Wilson (18-11, 8-4) is at West Ranch (17-7, 8-2) in Valencia after a walk-off win at home last week.
St. Anthony (15-12, 3-9) is hosting Rio Hondo Prep (16-7, 6-6) at Clark Field at 3:30 p.m. where the Saints are trying to get back to the CIF championship game for the second time in five years.
