Orange Lutheran completed a four-game sweep at the Boras Classic South, winning the championship game 4-1 over Norco. Their pitching depth was impressive all week.

After the loss of the Warriors, Raiders and A's, Oakland sports fans needed a win. In the last 12 months, we've gotten more than that: a baseball championship, an ice skating champion, and three new sports teams, inspired by the success of the Oakland Roots and Ballers to make a home in Oakland.

The Sox stormed out to a 3-0 lead: one run in the second two in the third, all manufactured. Then Brayan Bello's wildness caught up with him, and he exited with a bases-loaded situation and the Sox up 3-1.

The Oakland A's last played baseball in this city over a year ago, but the franchise still holds both a potential ownership stake in the Coliseum and the decisive ability to reject groups that seek a longer residency there. It is an uncomfortable arrangement that comes at a turning point for the Coliseum property, where lucrative private events could bring an end to live sports played at the iconic stadium.
