CIF AAA San Francisco Middle School baseball – Fall 2025 playoffs / Semi-Finals
October 20, 2025
Presidio Panthers (8-0) vs. Herbert Hoover Hawks (5-3)
Game starts at (6:15): https://youtu.be/ki_ElBXF-9g?t=375
W 8-1 (Presidio wins & moves on to the Championship)
My thoughts:
Monday’s rematch with Hoover was Presidio’s foray into this year’s playoffs after a week 1 bye. Presidio demonstrated its depth of pitching & defense. The team’s bats have come alive. This game will prove to the only one this season in which the opponent scored & held a lead (temporarily) over Presidio this season.
One more game left to complete the season…
