Mission, Lowell baseball teams earn berths in title game at AT&T Park
The Mission baseball team seized its season-long dream to play at AT&T Park swiftly on Thursday.
The Bears earned that right by jumping on one of the Academic Athletic Association’s top pitchers, A.J. Adewusi, for seven runs in the first inning en route to a 12-2 AAA semifinal playoff win over Lincoln at Nealon Field on the grounds of Big Rec Park.
The game was stopped after five innings due to the mercy rule.
Mission (17-8) plays for its first San Francisco Section title since 1990 at 3:30 p.m. Monday, when it faces five-time defending champion Lowell at the Giants’ home park.
