 as to who will start. Coach Lynn Baum of Newbury Park High said she and co-coach Jim Rose Jim Rose may refer to a number of persons:

  • Jim Rose, publisher and founder director of the International Press Institute
  • Jim Rose, publisher of the news blog Jim-Rose.com, The Libertarian Popinjay
 of Birmingham of Van Nuys haven't decided.

``Jim said he'd leave the decision up to me but we have to sit down and figure it out,'' Baum said after the team's first practice at Birmingham.

University of San Diego-bound Angelo (21-4, 0.40) carried Thousand Oaks to the Southern Section Division II championship on Saturday. Coogan, who has committed to Hawaii, was 25-6 with a 0.37 ERA. Stokx, who is headed to Chico State, was 9-6 with a 0.65 ERA.

The Long Beach State-bound right-hander was 25-2 with 314 strikeouts, 22 shutouts and a 0.15 ERA.

--Familiar faces: The West's practice was like a reunion for best friends Lindsey Weinstein of Chaminade of West Hills and Alana Mendoza of Camarillo, along with Westlake's Katie Kearns and Thousand Oaks' Sheridan Fowler. The four played travel ball together.

--All in the family: All-stars Kellie Cox (Quartz Hill) of the East and Stokx and Mendoza of the West have sisters who played in previous games.

Jodie Cox and Darlene Stokx competed in 1999, and Jessica Mendoza Jessica Mendoza (born 11 November 1980) is an American softball player who won a gold medal at the 2004 Athens Olympics. She was a four-time first team All-American at Stanford University from 1999-2002. Mendoza was named Softball player of the year in 2006.  participated in 1998.

Also, East catcher Jenni Perez of Thousand Oaks is the niece of Sean Toerner (Cleveland High of Reseda), who played in the first Bernie Milligan All-Star Baseball Game in 1977.

--Dean drops out: Hart of Newhall's Sara Dean, an Auburn-bound catcher who was expected to be one the East's key hitters, isn't playing because of a schedule conflict.
