Senior center fielder R.J. Blackwell insists that Grace Brethren of Simi Valley Simi Valley (sē`mē, sĭm`ē), city (1990 pop. 100,217), Ventura co., SW Calif. in an oil, fruit, and farm region; laid out 1887, inc. 1969.  has no standout player, just 15 heroes.

His diving catch in the fourth inning of Thursday's Southern Section Division VI championship game at Blair Field Blair Field is a stadium in Long Beach, California. It originally opened in 1956 and is primarily used for baseball. It holds 3,238 people.

Located in Recreation Park, Blair Field is one of the few semi-professional baseball facilities in California.
 in Long Beach was more than heroic, however, it was game- saving.

``Our coach told us that great players play normal in big games,'' Blackwell said.

Grace Brethren played better than normal defense as it squeezed by Thacher of Ojai 3-1 to win its fourth title in the last five years.

With a runner on third and two outs in the fourth, Thacher's Richard Smith Richard Smith is the name of:

  • Richard Smith (screenwriter/director), BAFTA-winning writer of Trauma
 stepped to the plate and blasted a shot to left-center. What looked like a game-tying hit turned into a standing ovation by the fans in Grace Brethren's bleachers as Blackwell dived and snagged the sinking ball.

``It was one of those plays you don't think about, you kind of just do it,'' Blackwell said."

Thacher failed to move another man into scoring position In the sport of baseball, a baserunner is said to be in scoring position when he is on second or third base. The distinction between being on first base and second or third base is that a runner on first can usually only score if the batter hits an extra base hit, while a runner on  the rest of the game as Brett Scott went the distance, allowing five hits and striking out five.

In the sixth inning, Blackwell drove in a run with a double and finished 2 for 3 with a walk, a run scored and an RBI RBI
