It’s the status quo in the Southern Section Division 4 baseball championship game. Palm Desert scored two runs in the first inning and still leads, 2-0, after five innings against Torrance.

Torrance has gotten its leadoff man aboard in the third, fourth and fifth innings but nothing has happened after that. A botched bunt, then a double play seems to have left the Tartars are little confused what to do. They only have six more outs to figure things out.

Nick Baker has given up four hits for Palm Desert.
