Tri-Valley Innovation #GameChangers: Pleasanton’s Calyxo, Pac-12 in San Ramon, Livermore’s Inertia and More

01 June 2026 16:10

The Livermore High varsity baseball team, seeded 11th in the NCS Division IV playoffs, defied a 6-18 regular season to win the championship. - The Cowboys benefited from competitive equity, being placed in D-IV despite playing in the tough EBAL.

- Coach Dave Perotti’s strategic scheduling against lower-division teams earned them a playoff spot. - In the title game, freshman Jack Wilhite threw a perfect strike to catcher Lucas Boosahda for the game-ending tag.

- Nine seniors missed the first playoff game due to a Disneyland trip, yet the team persevered. Now seeded No.

2 in the NorCal tournament, Livermore hosts University Prep on Tuesday.
