Huntingon Beach, Calif. - The march toward a state title continues for the #1 seeded Golden West College Rustlers as they face off against the #5 seeded Santa Barbara City College Vaqueros in the 3C2A State Semifinals this Thursday evening at Orange Coast College. Golden West (21-2) rolled through the opening round of the playoffs with a commanding 3-0 sweep over Santa Monica College.

The 2024 Houston Astros’ season felt like a whirlwind. From an underwhelming start, falling 10 games behind in the division, to dealing with major injuries to Christian Javier, José Urquidy, and Luis Garcia, the team still managed to make the playoffs. But their remarkable seven-year streak of ALCS appearances came to an abrupt end. The Astros fanbase is now split between those who feel this could be the end of an era and those holding on to hope that this team can rebuild.
