Terra Nova-Palma baseball

Central Coast Section Division III Quarterfinals
Saturday's game
No. 5 Terra Nova (12-13) vs. No. 4 Palma (15-11) at Sacred Heart Prep, 11 a.m.
 The Chieftains are playing arguably their best baseball of the season, running off four straight wins before falling 4-3 in their season finale to Gabilan Division champion San Benito.
 Don't be mislead by Sam Stoutenborough's 4-3 record. The Cal bound pitcher sports a 1.00 earned run average.
 Vince Flores is hitting .322 with a team high 23 runs batted in, while Dominic Scattini is hitting a team high .398, having knocked in 22 runs. Jon Jon Berring has raised his average to .333.
 Terra Nova was just 7-7 in the Peninsula Bay Division, a league that includes Sacred Heart Prep and Carlmont.
 The Tigers struggled at the plate, hitting just .270 as a team. They did post a 2.29 team earned run average, with Dylan McDonald going 4-2 with a 1.32 ERA.
 A Palma win will likely mean a meeting with top seed and Santa Cruz Coast Athletic League runner-up St. Francis of Watsonville.
