No problem Bigmat. I enjoyed the trek out there. It was obviously a rough start for Campo and once Piedmont started hitting, it just seemed to steamroll from there. A nice spirited comeback in the seventh though. Good luck next season.

Give me a break here people – bottom line, Arroyo won. BOTH teams had a great season and ALL players/ coaches should be proud of their accomplishments.

I wasn’t going to comment but after reading comments about Arroyo’s unruly fans I need tell you, I was in center field and listening to Livermore students sitting on the container “trash talking” to Arroyo’s center fielder was appalling. After listening to them for awhile, although outnumbered, I asked them to stop. Knowing it was all in fun, it was still too much – and all you’re saying about Arroyo fans was actually happening by Livermore students. As far as the police there, don’t know why you said they’re following Arroyo – we’ve NEVER had an incident needing police – maybe they just wanted to see a good game of baseball!

Jimmy Durkin…Thanks for coming to Moraga! Given that we started 4 sophomores and a freshman we have some good baseball in front of us. Hope to see you again more often next season!

What else is he going to say? Act like some other coaches and never give credit? They were the better team yesterday.

Was just wondering if anyone read Kyles’ story this morning where he quotes Livermores’ coach Dave Perotti as saying the Arroyo team was the best team they had faced all year long???

Cowboy down,

Nice work…trash the coach. Typical angry parent. Way to focus on the negative. It is always the coaches fault when an 18yr old cannot make a 50 foot throw. Guess what your saying is that they spent too much time on hitting then on defense. If so, then Jack must be the best pitcher ever. Calm Down.

My fault Baseknocks….i thought their was 1 out…which would have made it the automatic out and caught stealing.

Cowboys were not prepared for this game as well as the last half of the season. They did not improve at all. They actually regressed. They were down 8-0 to Amador on bad defense, down 6-0 to Foothill on bad defense, and 10 runned by Monte Vista. If not for several quality players at the top of the lineup they would have 6 losses. Their pre-season included powerhouses like Dublin twice and Mission San Jose. Their coach spends more time laughing with the camera men than coaching his baserunners. That is a fact. Livermore is a solid baseball team and had a good year, but hardly #1 in the State. I would think a State champion would have a tight defense and just look at all the errors this year on Maxprep. Do they ever take infield work at Livermore?
