Lowell Baseball wins City Championship - first since 2008, then win Transbay against Oakland Tech
Lowell senior Elijah Saunders barely wiped the smashed cupcake from his face following his team's 7-0 San Francisco Section championship victory over Washington on Wednesday.
The right-handed pitcher and left-handed hitter just let all the sweet morsels soak in.
It was tasty enough to pitch a four-hitter with eight strikeouts and lead the Cardinals to their 18th section title, but first since 2008. Also flavorful were his three doubles, including a key two-run blast down the right-field line in a four-run fourth.

The Lowell Robotics Team Qualifies for Worlds
The Lowell Robotics team, a F.I.R.S.T ( For Inspiration & Recognition of Science & Technology ) student-run competitive robotics team, attended Silicone Valley Regional ( SVR ) this past weekend at SJSU. With our alliance team, it has qualified for the F.I.R.S.T World Championship 2013 at St. Louis at the end of April.
Out of 58 participating teams at SVR (many of whom have been around since the beginning of F.I.R.S.T more than 15 years ago) our robotics team was ranked as high as 6th on the 1st day of the competition, and ended the 2-day tournament with the rank of 18th as an individual team, but ranked 2nd with our alliance team at the end of semi-final. This is the second time in 2 years that the team has qualified for the F.I.R.S.T World Championship, and the team is less than 2 years old. In 2012, the Lowell Robotics team ( FRC team 4159, aka Cardinalbotics ) qualified for the World Championship through being awarded Rookie All Star. |
