CIF NorCal roundup: St. Francis baseball, Liberty, San Leandro softball fall in title games

After making a 150-mile trip from its Mountain View campus, St. Francis quickly made itself at home in its CIF NorCal Division II baseball final at top-seeded Yuba City.

But the Lancers’ two-run, first-inning lead Saturday afternoon was gone in a blink.

Yuba City answered with two in its half of the inning and then waited until the final frame to break the tie.

When it did — on a bases-loaded, one-out single by Max Guth — Yuba City captured the championship with a 3-2 victory.
