A Rough Couple Days for San Carlos Little Leaguers

Not even the friendly confines of Highlands Park in San Carlos seemed to help the American and National all-star teams.

The runs came in bunches. Unfortunately teams from Foster City and San Mateo National were doing most of the scoring.

There's good news and bad news. The San Carlos National all-stars, who lost to Foster City, 16-2, on Wednesday, will get a chance to play again.

Not so San Carlos American, which dropped a 12-0 decision to San Mateo National on Tuesday night. SC American played terrific ball in its first game, an extra-inning thriller that did not go its way.

SC National fell behind, 3-0, in the top of the first inning but rallied to close within 3-2 in the bottom of the first inning. Jackson Hohe delivered an RBI single on which Nolan Peterson and Matt Smith scored.

Ryan Jefferies came within a few inches of clobbering his third home run in as many games. His ball to deep centerfield in the third was caught just in front of the fence.

Foster City scored at least three runs each time it came to bat, which was four innings.

San Carlos National comes back to play Half Moon Bay at 4 p.m. Friday at Highlands Park.

If the city council likes fake plastic nature, then let them saran-wrap their own yards! LEAVE OURRead More PARKS ALONE!! This is soccer special interest pressure on city government at its worst, and the city council appears unwilling or unable to withstand it. Crestview Park is a particularly quiet, serene, simple park with lovely views which the council now wants to turn into a sports arena. Any day you can go there and see families playing on the grass, toddlers and moms enjoying picnics and play time, kids learning to ride their bikes on the nice flat paved area, athletes and older folks enjoying the flat natural track (the only one in San Carlos) to get in shape, teens throwing frisbees on the lawn. It is a perfect place for ALL residents to enjoy according to their needs, not a sports arena dedicated to one activity at the expense of all. Belmont faced a similar lack of sports venues, but they did not choose to pave paradise. They wisely raised money and built a sports complex and spared their beautiful parks for use by ALL residents. I would like to see our city council do the right thing also. And by the way, the opposition to this short-sighted plan is far more than "some residents"! Please visit our booth at Hometown Days.

One summer my kid had soccer camp on at an artificial turf field. It was terrible. It madeRead More everything hotter and very uncomfortable. I had to pull my kid out of camp early because of it. I do not think it is better for the environment OR for kids. Just go to any turf field and try to walk across it on a hot day. Try to go barefoot on it (good luck!) We have been told not to microwave plastic containers because of BPA and bad chemicals that can cause cancer. What about heating up plastic grass and running around on it, breathing the fumes that come off it?? How is that any different?

Artificial turf is appropriate for dedicated use sports venues, not for multi-use city parks.

Thanks for doing this. The one blatant thing I observe on a daily basis is the number and frequencyRead More of deputy's at Starbucks on 800 laurel street and the sky kitchen. I never see them in the neighborhoods. The police department was much better
