batting

During the Dodgers’ batting practice Saturday afternoon, the Palisades’ varsity and junior varsity teams were invited down to field level, where they watched the Dodgers in awe from behind home plate.

Another Max Muncy, a promising rookie infielder with the Athletics from Thousand Oaks High, was sent back to triple A a few days ago after batting .176 with one home run in 68 at-bats.

Going back to April 5, he was batting only .232 over his last 14 games.

Hunter Manning lives so close to the West Ranch High baseball field that he can hear sounds of balls being hit in the batting cage at night.

He then scored a Test century - also his maiden first-class century - batting at number eight against Sri Lanka at Lord's the following month.
