After two days and 14 innings, Granada dethrones De La Salle for NCS title

LIVERMORE — After a grueling game that stretched across two days, two fields, two cities and two counties, Granada ended one of the longest post-season high school baseball winning streaks in state history when A.J. Martinez hit a run-scoring single in the bottom of the 14th to beat De La Salle 1-0 on Saturday. 

Martinez’s heroic moment ended the Concord powerhouse’s 33-game playoff run that began in 2016 while lifting his own team to its first section crown. 

“These are the moments I dream of,” Martinez said.
