La Jolla's baseball team, with a good 17-11 record this season, must win today's 3:30 p.m. game versus Hilltop at home, or go home.

Viking coach Gary Frank realized the urgency of the moment Mon., May 16. "Tomorrow is a win-or-go-home situation," he said. "If we win tomorrow, then we will be in the double elimination tournament."

So there are no guarantees, and no soft spot for La Jolla to start the postseason, despite the 2022 Vikings having won a share of the City League championship with Mission Bay. Their league record was a scintillating 8-2, but all of that is put aside for today's contest.
