It was a mixed bag on the local high school diamonds last week, as the Cloverdale varsity baseball squad stayed in the NCL-1 title hunt while the defending league champion Lady Eagles saw their hopes diminish for a softball repeat.
Cloverdale High School varsity basketball teams enter the final stretch of league play this week, hopeful that a strong finish will land them a high seed in the upcoming North Coast Section playoffs.
The Cloverdale Lady Eagles were crowned champions of the NCL-1 softball world on May 13, scoring a 5-4 win over visiting Clear Lake in eight innings to capture the title.
The much-anticipated home opener did not go as scripted for the Eagles on Friday, as visiting Kelseyville spoiled the victory party in a 21- 14 setback.
