SSR - “THE VOICE OF SPORTS IN SOLANO COUNTY”

With the 2008-2009 high school and college sports year complete throughout Solano County, SolanoSportsRadio.com will be slowing down a little bit while the student-athletes take time off and the weather heats up.

SSR would like to thank everyone who made these past fall, winter, and spring sports seasons throughout the County so memorable.

Thank you for following our website this year and continue to check back throughout the summer as we drop in with updates on what’s coming next fall, while perhaps even springling in a blog, or some audio content, such as interviews or special presentations.

Remember, we will be back in full force at the latter end of the summer as we prepare for a second year covering high school football throughout Solano County.

Prior to this postseason the Rodriguez High girls softball team had never won a playoff game in school history.

Thanks to Cheyenne Cordes and her teammates the Mustangs now have more than just a single postseason victory to their name.

Last week, Cordes belted a two-run homerun, as Rodriguez topped Solano County Athletic Conference rival Benicia 4-0 to claim the Sac-Joaquin Section Division III championship.

Cordes homered three times during the five playoff games for the Mustangs that culminated with their fourth victory in six tries (regular and postseason) against a talented and tough Benicia squad.

Cordes is this week’s SSR Athlete of the Week. Check out this week’s SSR Weekly for the official announcement.

He did not pitch a perfect game, no-hitter, or shutout, but considering the circumstances, the Benicia High sophomore’s effort on Saturday was perhaps far more impressive.

Reyes tossed six solid innings in helping the Panthers to an 8-6 victory over Solano County Athletic Conference rival Vanden in game one of the best-of-three semifinal round of the Sac-Joaquin Section Division III baseball playoffs.

For his work on the mound Reyes is this week’s SolanoSportsRadio.com Athlete of the Week.

Benicia is now just one win from playing for the section championship, although the Vikings are far from out of it. Game two is this Tuesday at 4 p.m. at Dan McAulliffe Park in Sacramento. If the Vikings win, a third and deciding game would be played that same day at 7 p.m. The section final is Monday, May 25 at 3 p.m. at Sacramento City College.

Listen to this week’s SSR Weekly for the official announcement of Reyes as this week’s SolanoSportsRadio.com Athlete of the Week.

Brad Worthan may not be Tom Glavine, but he did his best impression of the future hall of fame left-hander Thursday night. The senior lefty pitched the Rodriguez High baseball team to the Solano County Athletic Conference championship with an 8-2 victory over rival Vanden under the lights at beautifully remodeled Laurel Creek Park in Fairfield.

Worthan tossed a complete-game, allowing just four hits and striking out 6 on the night.

Worthan is this week’s SolanoSportsRadio.com Athlete of the Week. He will now prepare for his next start Wednesday against Del Campo in the first round of the Division III Sac-Joaquin Section Playoffs.

It was a heck of week of Alex Dombrowski. The Vanden High boys tennis player not only helped his team capture its first Solano County Athletic Conference championship with a 7-2 victory Bethel last Tuesday, but, in that contest Dombrowski picked up a straight set victory in No. 6 singles to improve his record on the season to a perfect 17-0.

Two days later the Vikings thumped Bethel 8-1 to complete an undefeated SCAC season.

Some of Dombrowski’s teammates will be participating in the SCAC singles and doubles tournaments this Thursday and Friday (May 7-8) at the Solano Athletic Club in Fairfield.

The Vikings hope to continue their success into the postseason, when they will host a first round contest in the Sac-Joaquin Section Division II tournament on May 12.

Listen to this week’s SSR Weekly for the official announcement of Dombrowski as SSR Athlete of the Week.
