By Mitch Stephens Updated 10:42 pm, Friday, June 22, 2018 She arrived with little expected of her. She left having carried her team with her bat and left arm. At every turn, pitching or hitting, Amador Valley-Pleasanton’s Danielle Williams delivered — and she finished with the most impressive flurry of her stellar career. After the the low point to her season — an 8-0 drubbing by crosstown rival Foothill in the East Bay Athletic League playoffs — Williams dominated four North Coast Section Division 1 foes, leading the Dons (23-5-1) to their fourth North Coast Section title. Williams pitched four consecutive shutouts (including a no-hitter), striking out 58 in 28 innings in the process. She also allowed just eight hits, finishing the season with a 21-4 record, 363 strikeouts in 178 innings and a 0.59 ERA. She also hit .411 with 25 RBIs. Her postseason run ended with a 2-0 win over Foothill, a team that started the season ranked fifth … [Read more...] about Amador Valley’s Danielle Williams is softball Metro Player of the Year
Shields gets knocked down, recovers to beat Gabriels
By Nolan Bianchi The Detroit News Published 5:56 p.m. UTC Jun 23, 2018 Detroit — Two-time Olympic gold medalist Claressa Shields said Wednesday that for Hanna Gabriels to beat her in their main event title fight Friday at the Masonic Temple, she would have to kill her. Gabriels did neither. The youngest women's champion of all-time picked up her sixth consecutive win to remain undefeated as a professional and unify the women's 154- and 168-pound middleweight belts in front of a hypersensitive hometown crowd that lived and died with every punch. "I am Flint. Michigan lives deep down inside of me, so I knew that they were going to be as strong as I was," Shields said. "I knew I wasn't just fighting for myself inside the ring, I was fighting for Flint, my family, my friends, Michigan, and the USA." Rounds 2-4 of the fight were tightly contested, and in Round 1, Gabriels looked like she might finally be the one to stop Shields' fairy tale run in the ring … [Read more...] about Shields gets knocked down, recovers to beat Gabriels
Encinal shortstop Osiris Johnson is Metro Player of Year in baseball
By Mitch Stephens Updated 10:42 pm, Friday, June 22, 2018 Beyond being a slick fielder, superb hitter and fleet of foot, Osiris Johnson is a evidently a pretty good mimic. The 6-foot-1, 195-pound Encinal-Alameda senior shortstop did a remarkable job this season of imitating his mentor, second cousin and former National League MVP Jimmy Rollins. In 26 games, Johnson hit .535 with 46 hits, 15 doubles, two triples and six home runs. He also stole 16 bases in 17 attempts, scored 30 runs and drove in 24 for the Jets (19-8-1). Earlier this month he was selected in the second round of the MLB draft (53rd overall) by the Miami Marlins. Rollins, an Encinal alum, was taken in the second round (46th overall) in 1996 by the Phillies. In recognition of his spectacular season, Johnson is The Chronicle’s 2018 Metro Player of the Year. He capped his four-year career with his best season, though his junior campaign (.481, 38 hits, 27 hits, 20 stolen bases) was pretty good also. … [Read more...] about Encinal shortstop Osiris Johnson is Metro Player of Year in baseball
