In a thrilling game against Sylmar, the Venice baseball team displayed remarkable resilience by coming back from multiple deficits to win 9-8 with a walk-off single in the eighth inning. Notably, Canon King shone with a stellar performance, going 5 for 5, and helping to tie the game twice before the decisive final play. With this victory, Venice, which has not won a City Section upper division title since 1973, will face the nine-time champion El Camino Real in the championship game at Dodger Stadium, an inspiring goal for the team's 16 seniors.
"Even after Sylmar took an 8-7 lead in the top of the eighth on a wild pitch, the top of the order delivered, starting with a double from Eli Altamirano."
"Venice hasn't won a City Section upper division title since 1973 and to get to play at Dodger Stadium... is particularly satisfying for a team that has 16 seniors on its roster."
