Lobos get first league baseball title

Since Los Amigos High School opened in the late Sixties, Lobos athletic teams have won glory in football, basketball and other sports but never won a league varsity baseball title.

The orange-and-black made history on Friday when they defeated Rancho Alamitos 4-2 to win the Garden Grove League crown.

The Lobos finished the season 12-3 in league, ahead of Santiago (11-4) and Loara (9-5). All three teams will advance to the CIF-SS playoffs starting next week.

In other area baseball action, La Quinta defeated Loara 6-5 in GGL play, and Huntington Beach bested Laguna Beach 10-0 in a non-league contest.
