4th ranked St. Francis (Mountain View) will face a big test tonight when they face Bishop O'Dowd ace
Joe Ross. Ross, the younger brother of Oakland A's pitcher
Tyson Ross, is the 10th ranked player in California and he will look to get the Dragons back on track after a loss and a tie in their last two contests. Joe was the hard luck loser in his first start, allowing just one earned run over 6 innings against Acalanes.
Not surprisingly, St. Francis is off to a 6-0 start, but they will have a tough time remaining undefeated facing an ace like Ross. The Lancers feature arguably the best infield in the nation with seniors 3B
Tyler Goeddel, 1B
George Saba, and SS
Alex Blandino, all committed to play for big time division 1 colleges next year. They also feature the 31st ranked junior in the country, OF/3B
Steven Golden. Expect plenty of scouts to be on hand for this one.
