Baseball: Jordan Berg is throwing like an ace for El Camino Real

There’s a little bit of a role reversal going on for defending City Section champion El Camino Real. Last season, Jordan Berg was the No. 2 pitcher behind ace Jeremy Polon. But this season, Berg has been pitching best and he came through with another standout performance on Thursday.
