baseball8There were some impressive numbers put up this past season by the area’s high school baseball players. Four area schools have 18 players recognized for fine season exploits.

In addition, the local teams also enjoyed some shining moments, as three of the four — Burbank, Burroughs and Bellarmine- Jefferson highs — were able to make the postseason.

Arcadia (21-5, 12-2 in league) did win the league title, finishing ahead of Burroughs (20-8, 11-3), Burbank (11-11-1, 9-5) and Crescenta Valley (16-10, 9-5).

Perhaps the best season performance was turned in by Burbank junior shortstop Lonnie Kauppila. However, instead of earning Pacific League Player of the Year honors, Kauppila was selected on the first team.
