Yearbook. After losing eleven seniors from last years league and CCS championship team, many felt there was no way this years team would make CCS.

New coach, Jay Gomez made some changes in the defensive formation, that no other local high school team had ever tried before.

In the semifinals of the SCCAL tournament
Cards Escape Aptos. Santa Cruz Ekes Out 2-1 victory.
If SC is to win back to back CCS baseball championships, they will have their superb defense to thank for it. Michael Brown pitched five innings for the victory, allowing five hits and no walks as SC 21-11 won in the second round of the league playoffs at Harvey West Park. “Our defense is so great. Today they just made plays they had to make for us,” Brown said. SC did not make an error, while Aptos made three costly errors. With the score tied 1-1 an over throw by Aptos’ catcher to third base allowed Anthony to score in the fourth inning for the winning run. Anthony had reached first on an infield hit, stole second and was stealing third when the ball went into the outfield. (His running set up the score.)
To seal the game, SC’s defense still needed a big play. In the top of the seventh, the lead off batter was hit by a pitch by relief pitcher Brandon Hennessey. The next batter flied out for the first out The next hitter singled down the right field line and the ball was fielded cleanly by Anthony, but the batter didn’t hesitate rounding first and was going for second. Anthony delivered a perfect throw to second getting the batter for the second out. Hennessey then struck out the next batter for the third out to end the game.
“We play good defense, that’s our key. If we throw strikes and just let the other team put the ball in play, we’ll always have a chance to win,” Coach Kittle.

May 20. UNDER PRESSURE. Reigning CCS Champ Cardinals Insist They’re Not Feeling The Heat. “This team hates to Lose. I think that loss to Scotts Valley was a wake up call. I know after that game, we were like, why did we lose to Scotts Valley? But baseball is that way,” said pitcher Michael Brown.
Not every athlete handles pressure the same. One might think SC baseball players live for it. Hip hop blared from the dugout stereo system as the Cardinals smiled and joked during the otherwise regimented practice for their CCS opener. Its go time. The second seeded Cards 21-12 on the season are going against fifteenth seeded Lincoln in CCS Division II.
“You are the number two seed,” coach Kittle told his players. “Act like you’re the two seed. Play like you’re the two seed.” Kittles brief lecture was interrupted by outfielder D.J. Anthony, who did a mock celebration. “D.J., I know I don’t have to tell you,” Kittle said.
The Cars behind talented starters Michael Brown and Brandon Hennessy and a scrappy offense, hope to win it all. Brown, who will play for CSU Dominguez Hills next season will start the first game. Hennessey a transfer from MVC who has signed with San Jose State will throw the second game. Sophomore talent Drew Gagnier and freshman Dayne Quist coming out of the bull pen, the Cards believe they have the pitching that can help them win it all.
Winning CCS has been the Cards goal all season and is stressed during each and every game. With such emphasis placed on winning it all, one might think these players were ready to explode from the expectations. “Pressure is not like that,” Anthony said. “Pressure is a relative term. Pressure is for a team that’s not really prepared. We don’t have pressure. This is the natural progression of our team.”
Under Kittle, the Cards hold a 9-3 record in the post season. Including this year, they’ve made CCS play in five of his eight seasons as coach. They’ve reached the semifinals three times and steamrolled top seeded Carmel 13-2 in last year’s Division III final for the schools first section title in the sport.
Despite the Cards past success, this years team had lofty goals, to repeat. They had a good returning corps of players and a nice blend of talent coming from junior varsity. However, after the second game of SCCAL play, three returning starters were kicked off the team for violation if team rules. “The day we got the news, the team agreed. We’ve got to step it up,” Anthony said. “We never wavered in our belief that we could win another CCS title.” In the teams first game without the exiled players, the Cards booted SLV 13-3.
“A lot of people probably thought we were going to fold after we lost those guys,” Anthony said. “But that next game, I think we quieted a lot of people. Some would argue we’ve gotten stronger, as a team with the loss.”
If anything, the loss depleted the Cards of a bench that could come in and contribute. Kittle was left to fill holes at second base, center field and the number two pitching spot. Now, the bulk of the Card lineup is made up of juniors. Zack Fleming moved from third to second, Justin Allegri took over third base, Will Wetmore took over center and Brown stepped in as the team’s second pitching ace. Paul Dinkin’s, Wes Mathews, Dylan Windt and Anthony, all are battling for one spot in the lineup, essentially became starters.
Another blow was dealt when Trevor Burns was lost to a broken foot in the regular season finale as the Cards won the SCCAL title. But in the SCCAL tournament, the top seeded Cards were upset 4-3 by third seeded Scotts Valley, a team they beat twice in the regular season by a total of 25-7. Suddenly a team that at times looked dominant appeared vulnerable. “If we lose, we come out harder the next game,” said Brown. “We always pick it up when we need to, as long as we stay focused.”
So stay focused and have fun, Cards, because the pressure is on. Jim Seimas.

In the first game of the CCS playoffs, SC defeated Lincoln of San Jose and Mt. View 4-1 in the quarterfinal. SC’s next game is against Monterey, who beat Los Gatos 5-4 in ten innings. This will be a semifinal game at San Jose Municipal Stadium.
Saturdays intensity level was sky high. Not only was it a playoff game, it was a possible preview of a future NCAA Division I pitching match up. The Mt. View pitcher has a scholarship to Stanford and SC’s Brandon Hennessey to San Jose State.
“The dugout was awesome,” said Hennessey, who escaped a bases loaded, no out jam in the sixth inning in his complete game victory. “I’ve never been part of anything like that. This is my first time at CCS. I just fed of their emotion.”
Paul Dinkins squeezed in Will Wetmore for a 1-0 lead. On the play, the 6-3 Mt. View pitcher knocked over Dinkins with a hard tag as Wetmore scored. “That was big,” Wetmore said of the squeeze play. “I don’t think anyone thought we were going to score on this guy. It was nice just to know we could score.
Thanks to a three run fourth inning, the Cards didn’t need to bat in the seventh inning as they were home team. The Mt. View pitcher struck out nine, walked three and hit two batters. Both teams had four hits. Hennessey had seven strike outs, one walk and hit one batter.
In the fourth, Wetmore singled, stole second and move the final two bases on wild pitches. Anthony walked, move to third on the pitchers two errant throws and scored on Dylan Windt’s single. Number nine hitter Justin Allegri drove in the final Card run on a two out two strike single to score Windt.
In the fifth, Mt View hit a home run for their score. SC had turned a double play before the homer to clear the bases.
In the sixth Hennessey escaped a bases loaded, no out situation created by a hit batter and two singles. The first out was an infield pop up. The next batter was hit on the forearm, but the umpire ruled he was not hit. The hitter chopped the ball back to Hennessey, who went home to Pete Feurtado at the plate for a force and Feurtado went to Dinkins at first to complete the double play.
“We got a break when that guy got hit, But we played defense and that’s why we won,” coach Kittle.

SC beat Monterey in the semifinals 9-4.

The Cards lost to Burlingame 8-4 in the CCS Division II finals.
