Softball: Torrance is presenting a lesson in history

We can’t argue with history. History guides us to the present. History predicts the future.

Yet, the other day, Torrance defied history in squashing big, bad San Pedro, 9-1, in a tournament game and became the first non-Marine League team from the South Bay to beat San Pedro since South Torrance won in 2000.

Torrance could be making some history as well. The Tartars (17-3, 4-0) are winners of 12 of 13 and find themselves in a tie for first place with 23rd-ranked North Torrance (15-6, 4-0).

And this is where it gets good, Torrance and the Saxons will have a Pioneer League scrum on Wednesday at North Torrance at 3:15 p.m. Let’s see which team wants to seize some history.
