Baseball: Galileo grad Nelson commits to Cal after a stop at College of San Mateo
By Jeremy Balan
Dylan Nelson was such a force on Galileo Academy’s baseball team in his junior and senior years that when he was redshirted at the College of San Mateo in his first season out of high school, the lack of competition was killing him.

By Jeremy Balan
Our All-City teams are not always scientific.

This time around, it’s a pitcher, but the exception is truly exceptional.
All you have to do is ask one question: Who was the best baseball player in the City this season? The answer is Collin Monsour.

Late-inning theatrics have been a common theme for the International High School baseball team this season, so it was fitting that the Bay Counties League Central championship game came down to a bases-loaded situation in the bottom of the seventh inning.
