The Burroughs High softball team has a date with top-seeded and nationally ranked Grand Terrace in the CIF Southern Section Division III semifinals at Olive Park on Tuesday with a 3:15 p.m. first pitch.
That’s because on Thursday, the No. 4 seeded Indians (24-4) needed nine innings in order to subdue host Norwalk 4-0 in a quarterfinal match. Burroughs was blanked until the ninth when it scored four runs.
The Indians’ next game is going to be against a team that hasn’t allowed a run during three playoff games.
In the opening round, the Titans, who are 26-1 and ranked 19th in the state and 62nd in the nation by the website maxpreps.com, defeated Peninsula 10-0, then knocked off San Clemente 7-0 in the second round and Don Lugo 8-0 in the quarters.
Norwalk outhit the Indians, 11-7, but was unable to score any runs off ace Presley Miraglia.
Aside from the victory over Norwalk, Burroughs, which has won 15 straight games, has beaten Irvine 4-2 in the second round and drilled Tesoro 8-0 in the first round.
