On the prep diamond…The IMC Baseball race comes down the stretch run with just 1-game separating Bend, Summit, and Mt. View for the League pennant.

Yesterday, Bend edged Ridgeview, 3-2 and Summit blanked Redmond, 6-zip. The Storm and Lava Bears share 11-and-3 league records while the Cougars, who are idle today, are 9-and-4.

Tomorrow, Bend entertains Summit in a must-win game for the Storm to force a season series tie. Then Saturday, Summit plays at Mt. View, and Monday the regular season comes to a close with the IMC Title on the line when Mt. View entertains the Storm.
