St. John Bosco stuns No. 1 Corona 2-0 in Southern Section Division 1 semifinals
Jack Champlin, a junior pitcher for St. John Bosco, surveyed the memorable scene Tuesday afternoon. There were fans standing everywhere — down the lines, around the outfield walls, in the press box. It was the top of the seventh inning, and No. 1 Corona had two runners aboard trying to rally in the Southern Section Division 1 semifinals. 'I love it,' he said. 'There's close to 1,000 people and it's electric. I didn't feel any pressure, didn't feel nervous.' Advertisement He got a strikeout and fly ball to save St. John Bosco's stunning 2-0 victory over Corona and unbeaten pitcher Seth Hernandez, who had never lost in two years of high school baseball. 'Tough day for people who don't normally have tough days,' said Corona coach Andy Wise, who guided the Panthers to the Division 1 title last season and saw his team's record drop to 28-3. The Braves will play Trinity League rival Santa Margarita in Friday's 7 p.m. Division 1 championship game at Cal State Fullerton. Everything St. John Bosco needed to do to pull off victory happened. Left-hander Trevor Heishman gave up one hit in 6 1/3 innings with nine strikeouts. He struck out Corona's hottest hitter, Anthony Murphy, three times. Advertisement The Braves refused to be intimidated by the 99-mph fastball of Hernandez, who came in with just four walks and 96 strikeouts in 48 2/3 innings and an 18-0 record in high school baseball. He struck out nine, walked three and gave up a run in the second inning on consecutive singles by Champlin and Macade Maxwell. St. John Bosco scored another run in the fifth on a Hernandez balk. 'He's just another player like us,' Champlin said of the Braves' attitude toward Hernandez, one of the top pro prospects in the nation. 'We weren't scared. We came out with confidence we were going to win from the time we stepped on the field. In two years as head coach, Andy Rojo has taken the Braves to the Division 3 final (last season) and now the Division 1 final on Friday. His batters made Hernandez throw 92 pitches in five innings and hit the ball hard when they needed. 'The key for us we wanted to put the ball in play,' he said. St. John Bosco has never won a section baseball title after all the success the football and basketball teams have had. But this 26-4 team won the Trinity League championship for the first time since 2017 and has beaten Santa Margarita two of three times this season. And they've got Champlin ready to be the closer again on Friday. Advertisement 'I haven't had a blown save,' he said with the confidence of a true closer. Santa Margarita 12, Crespi 0: Ben Finnegan had three hits and four RBIs and Brennan Bauer gave up two hits in five scoreless innings to send the Eagles into the Division 1 championship game. Mater Dei 5, Fountain Valley 4: A three-run sixth inning propelled the Monarchs to the comeback win in the Division 2 semifinals. Lawson Olmstead broke a 4-4 tie with an RBI single. Brandon Thomas picked up the save in the seventh and will pitch in the championship game. West Ranch 8, Etiwanda 7: Ty Diaz had a walk-off single in the bottom of the eighth inning, culminating in a three-run comeback victory in the Division 2 semifinals. Etiwanda took a 7-5 lead with two runs in the top of the eighth. Diaz finished with three hits and two RBIs.

Plymouth day care teacher's alleged excessive discipline caught on camera, charges say
A woman who was allegedly caught on camera forcefully grabbing, pushing and shouting at children at a Twin Cities day care now faces a gross misdemeanor charge. The 21-year-old woman from Champlin, Minnesota, is charged with one count of malicious punishment of a child, according to court documents filed last week. Police in Plymouth, Minnesota, first received a report about potential abuse at Lil' Explorers Childcare Center in February, from the father of a 3-year-old boy at the facility. Another teacher told the father that the woman charged "picked up [the boy] by one arm and pushed him into a chair with force, before yelling in [his] face," the complaint states. A teacher recorded video showing the alleged abuse, along with the woman "grabbing other children and yelling at them," according to the complaint. In February, WCCO spoke with a teacher who recorded video of some of the woman's behavior, Za'Kiyah Thomas. She said she complained to day care management about the woman and reported her actions to the Minnesota Department of Human Services. "It definitely was an uncomfortable situation, but yesterday I decided to take a step back so I could get it on camera because I knew it was going to be my last day and I couldn't just leave my kids there with her without me to protect them to make sure they were OK," Thomas said at the time. When the video first surfaced, Cadence Education, the parent company of Lil' Explorers, gave WCCO the following statement: "We do not tolerate behavior of this kind, and the individuals involved are no longer employed with us. In addition, we have initiated an investigation into this issue and are fully cooperating with authorities." The woman is not in custody. To report concerns about child abuse, neglect or sexual abuse, the Minnesota Department of Children, Youth, and Families recommends contacting the county or Tribal Nation where the child lives. You can find a list of Minnesota's county and tribal child protection agencies by clicking here. If there is an immediate concern of harm to the child, the agency recommends calling 911.

Westen Champlin's 4×4 Hellcat Challenger Goes Full Mayhem in Off-Road Debut
⚡️ Read the full article on Motorious Turning a Dodge Challenger Hellcat into an off-road rig might sound like madness, but for YouTube star and Kansas-based car builder Westen Champlin, that's just Tuesday. Champlin recently debuted his one-of-a-kind 4×4 Hellcat Challenger—a lifted beast packing solid axles, a custom frame, 35-inch tires, and, of course, supercharged Hellcat power. After more than a year in the garage, the team took the mutant muscle car to Oklahoma's Crossbar Off-Road Park for its first real-world test. The results? Let's just say things escalated quickly. 'Handling was terrifying,' Champlin admitted after the first few shakedown runs. Even with a sway bar installed, the Challenger reportedly swayed like a cruise ship in a hurricane. 'We wanted something that would work… it works at trying to kill you,' he quipped. The real disaster struck when Champlin shifted into four-wheel drive for the first time—only to have a locking hub break immediately. A hunch he'd previously joked about became an off-road reality. After limping back to get parts, Champlin hit the highway for a repair run, where the steering system decided to disassemble itself at 65 mph. 'You haven't lived until your off-road Hellcat's steering falls off at highway speed,' he said. Things didn't get better. Once back at the park, the team sent the car into a deep mud hole, where it promptly stalled. 'I forgot it breathes through the headlight,' Champlin said, later discovering the engine had developed a worrying tick. 'We might've blown up the off-road Hellcat,' he sighed. Despite the chaos, Champlin sees it as a win. 'We're testing to see what's not good,' he said. 'And now we know. A lot.' The wild 4×4 build may be battered, but it's not beaten. As Westen put it, 'We learned what to fix—and we're definitely not done.'
