Colin Kaepernick flashed arm against Lodi bats

Flames, Tigers both faced off against the San Francisco 49ers’ quarterback during his high school baseball days

Twenty-one wins. Two out of three over rival St. Mary's. A league championship and a trip to the Sac-Joaquin Section semifinals.

Tokay High's 2006 baseball campaign was stellar, but the run ended just short of a second straight title game. Needing two wins to stay alive, the Tigers fell, 6-3, to second-seeded Pitman on May 26 — their bats stymied by a tall, lanky flamethrower from Turlock.
