Both the Crescenta Valley baseball and softball teams had spectacular regular seasons, and will try to show their worth in the CIF playoffs. The first rounds of the playoffs begin today, and the Falcons’ baseball team will host Lakewood at Stengel Field at 6:30 p.m. in the Division II bracket.

CV (23-4 overall) clinched its third straight Pacific League championship last week when it defeated Arcadia in the season finale. The Falcons finished undefeated at 14-0. Lakewood was 12-18 in the Moore League, which was good for second place with Long Beach Wilson behind Millikan.

The winner of this game will play the winner of the Fountain Valley and Canyon on Tuesday, May 22.

In the finale against Arcadia, CV pitcher Will Grimm went all seven innings, allowing only three hits in the 2-0 win. The Falcons struggled to generate offense, and was able to score a run each in the fifth and six innings. In the two games they played each other, CV held the Apaches to one combined run.

In other Division II action, Village Christian, which was second in the Olympic League, will face Beckman today on the road at 3:15 p.m.

In Division III softball, the Falcons capped off a great season with a Pacific League title. They went 24-2 overall, and 13-1 in league, beating out Burroughs by a game (Burroughs was the only team to beat CV in League).

CV will host Knight HS today at 3:15 p.m. Knight, which is from Palmdale, was 13-10 overall and 9-3 in the Golden League, where placed it third.

If the Falcons win today, they’ll face the winner of El Modena and San Luis Obispo on Tuesday.
